Homemade KFC-Style Gravy
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 5 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons beef bouillon
  • 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter, stirring occasionally.
2
Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until it becomes transparent and soft, taking around 5 minutes to achieve this.
3
Next, add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt completely.
4
Combine this with the flour, stirring until a smooth, thick paste forms that resembles cake frosting in texture.
5
Continue cooking this mixture while constantly stirring it until the flour turns a golden color and starts to emit a toasted aroma, which should take approximately 20 minutes.
6
Now, whisk in the water and both bouillon cubes until there are no lumps left.
7
Add some ground black pepper to the mixture and bring it all together by stirring until it reaches a boiling point.
8
Finally, cook this mixture further while constantly stirring it until it thickens to the consistency of a good gravy, taking around 8-10 minutes to achieve this.
