Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons (30g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480ml) chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup (240ml) milk or heavy cream

- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until completely liquified, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
- Gradually whisk in the flour to create a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until golden and bubbly.

- Stir in the milk or heavy cream, whisking continuously until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Let the gravy simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and pour the gravy into a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
