1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2-2 1/2 cups whole milk 

2 pinches of cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder 

salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.  Add the flour, whisking continuously for about 3 minutes or until lightly browned.

2. Chicken Gravy 

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter (or chicken drippings)

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups chicken broth 

½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

½ teaspoon onion powder (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup heavy cream (optional for extra richness)

Instructions

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter (or use chicken drippings for extra flavor). Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. This removes the raw flour taste.

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.

Stir in heavy cream for a richer, creamier gravy. Pour over mashed potatoes, chicken, biscuits, or rice.
