Before using meat drippings, remove the fat by placing in a seperator or quick chill in freezer for about 30 to 60 minutes and skim visible fat from top.
Put 1/2 of defatted drippings/broth in a jar, add the browned flour.
Cover tightly and shake until mixture is smooth.
Pour into a saucepan, add remaining liquid.
Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly until desired consistency.

If desired add a few drops of Kitchen Bouquet until desired color.
Please Note: The cooking time allows for the quick chill method on the broth.
