- 5 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 chicken bouillon
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- salt to taste

Instructions
- In a pot, melt butter on medium heat. Once butter is melted (not brown or burned), add flour.

- Bring to a boil, then let it simmer under medium low heat for 3-5 minutes, or until gravy thickens to desired thickness. Add more chicken stock to thin out gravy, or more flour to thicken if needed.
- Taste gravy, and add salt and black pepper to taste.

Notes
To make gravy with drippings, substitute drippings for salted butter. Start with just half of a chicken bouillon and add more if needed. Salt may not be necessary as well.
