Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil (1½ ounces; 42 grams)
- 3 tablespoons sweet rice flour or white rice flour (¾ ounce; 21 grams)
- 2 cups warm turkey, chicken, beef, or vegetable broth (16 ounces; 453 grams)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Melt Butter or Heat Oil: In a small pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat or heat the olive oil until it shimmers but does not smoke.
- Add Rice Flour: Add the sweet rice flour and whisk continuously until a smooth paste forms. Continue whisking for about 3 minutes until the paste turns light beige.
- Add Broth Slowly: Slowly pour the warm broth into the pot in a steady stream while whisking constantly to prevent lumps, cooking until the gravy thickens and starts to bubble.
- Simmer and Season: Reduce heat and let the gravy simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add gluten-free soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve and Store: Serve the gravy warm. Store any leftover gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Notes
- Use warm broth to ensure a smooth consistency and prevent lumps.
- Sweet rice flour gives the best thickening and glossy finish, but white rice flour can be used as a substitute.
- Adjust seasonings according to your preference for a more savory or herbal flavor.
- Gluten-free soy sauce adds depth, but can be omitted for a milder taste.
- Reheat gravy gently on the stovetop and whisk to restore the texture before serving.
