Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup condensed chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 1/2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or canola)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Roux: In a medium-sized skillet, heat the oil over low heat. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 to 15 minutes. Your goal is to achieve a deep, golden-brown color without burning the mixture. This process is crucial for developing the rich, nutty flavor characteristic of Cajun gravy.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the roux is ready, carefully add the white pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and salt. Stir well to combine and let the spices cook for about 1 minute to release their flavors.
-
Add Liquids: Slowly pour in the condensed chicken broth and water while stirring continuously. This will help to incorporate the roux into the liquid smoothly and prevent lumps.
-
Simmer and Thicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for approximately 10 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot over your favorite dishes, such as mashed potatoes, fried chicken, or biscuits, to add a delicious, spicy kick.
This Popeyes Cajun Gravy is perfect for a quick, homemade touch of Southern comfort in your meals. Enjoy the bold flavors and creamy texture that make this gravy a standout addition to any plate! 🌶️🍗🍽️
