Chicken Gravy

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 
1 quart chicken stock
• 
1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 
salt and ground white pepper to taste

Directions

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook 10 to 12 minutes.
2. Gradually whisk in chicken stock. Reduce heat to low. Bring gravy to a simmer, and cook and stir until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, and season with salt, white pepper, and cayenne pepper.
