Step 1

Carefully tip the drippings from your pan into a bowl or glass measuring cup. Let them sit for two minutes and skim any fat that collects off the top using a large spoon or ladle.

Step 2

Pour all of the flour into a heavy-bottomed sauce pan and brown it over medium heat until it is uniformly golden brown.

Step 3

Add 1/4 cup of drippings and stir continuously until it becomes a thick paste. Whisk in the remaining drippings and stir well creating a roux.

Step 4

Pour in the broth, whisking for 5-10 minutes (until desired thickness.)

Step 5

Add salt and pepper to taste.
