GRAVY

This gravy is really simple, really delicious and really pretty easy!

50g flour
50g of butter OR chicken fat OR a combination of the two
500g chicken or turkey stock (unsalted!)
5g salt
¼ tsp pepper
50g cream

In a pan over medium heat, melt the fat. Add the flour to the pan and stir together. 
Cook over medium to medium-low heat for about 7 minutes while stirring occasionally until the mixture becomes a nice toasty brown color. Pour a small amount of cold stock into the pan with the toasted flour and fat, and add the salt. Begin stirring the mixture to create a smooth paste. Once the stock is fully incorporated, add a bit more stock. Continue adding the stock gradually, about ½ cup (1 deciliter) at a time, until all the stock has been used and you have a smooth gravy.
Stir in the cream and pepper.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning.

*The gravy may thicken as it cools and form a skin on the surface. There's no need to worry; simply whisk it up again while heating, and the skin will disappear.
