Homemade pan gravy can be a challenge for some home cooks. Just a little practice is all it takes, and its a snap. Melt a little fat (of course, I like some good ole reserved bacon fat), equal portions of flour, to form a roux. Then add fresh stock, such as roasted turkey stock, stir gently until thickened. Add a little salt and fresh ground black pepper. Simply the best.
Melt fat in saute pan, add equal parts flour, and stir until consistency of wet sand. Let brown just a tad.
Slowly add warm stock, and whisk until thick. Add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste.
