Photo: Homemade Gravy Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (2 onions)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade, heated
- 1 tablespoon Cognac or brandy
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional)
Directions
In a large (10- to 12-inch) saute pan, cook the butter and onions on medium-low heat for 12 to 15 minutes, until the onions are lightly browned. Don't rush this step; it makes all the difference when the onions are well cooked.
Sprinkle the flour into the pan, whisk in, then add the salt and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the hot chicken stock and Cognac, and cook uncovered for 4 to 5 minutes, until thickened. Add the cream, if desired, and serve.

I am only rating this a four, because I have issues with the directions.
In the video, it calls for 2 cups of onions and for more pepper. I guess it doesn't make a difference; I used the recipe as posted and it was great. I was not happy with the cooking time on the directions. I had to cook my onions for 45 - 50 minutes! (I even looked online how to carmelize onions, to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong. I also feel the cooking time at the end is too short. I had to cook it about 12 minutes.
I just don't want anyone to be surprised if they are making this on Thanksgiving, because timing is everything on that day! But the gravy is excellent!
