Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour to form a smooth roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently until it begins to thicken, about 3–4 minutes.
Add the maple syrup, heavy cream, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the gravy for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the gravy to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite dish. Enjoy!
