Video
- Roast ham on a roasting rack in the oven. My 9-pound ham took about 3 hours at 325 degrees.
- Drain drippings and broth from the roasting rack.
- Pour broth in a measuring cup. If you don't have 2 cups of broth, add water, store-bought broth, milk, or cream to have two total cups of liquid.
- Melt two tablespoons of butter in a skillet on low to medium-low heat. Be careful to not burn the butter.
- Add two tablespoons of flour to the butter. Whisk continuously for two minutes to smooth out any flour lumps.
- • The flour and butter mixture should be slightly golden and smooth.
- Slowly pour in a little broth at a time. Whisk well, then add more broth.
- *Instead of using 2 cups of ham broth, use ½ cup ham broth with 1.5 cups milk, cream, or coffee.
- Whisk and simmer gravy until reduced to your preferred thickness.

Note
- If dairy-free, use oil instead of butter.
- If gluten-free, use cornstarch instead of flour.
- When using flour, add it to the butter at the beginning of the recipe before you add the broth.
- When using cornstarch, add the cornstarch slurry at the end of the recipe after you add the broth to the skillet.
- Use 2 cups of any liquid (broth OR a combination of broth and milk or cream).
- I needed to simmer my gravy for about 15 minutes to get it as thick as I like.
- The gravy thickens a little as it cools.
