Melt the butter in a skillet or saucepan over medium high heat.
Then add onion and saute onions until it just starts to brown.
Gently whisk in the flour to the onion mixture, to make a “roux.” Stir the roux for 2-3 minutes to remove any raw taste of the flour.
Gradually add about a ¼ or more of stock and continue whisking until mixture is thick and somewhat smooth.
Then add the remaining stock, and adjust thickness to personal preference – season with bouillon, salt and pepper. Remember gravy thickens as it cools down.
