1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
2 cups water
Instructions
1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux turns deep golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
3. Stir in chicken bouillon, beef bouillon, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4. Gradually whisk in water to avoid lumps, starting with a small amount and increasing slowly.
5. Continue whisking and simmer for 4-5 minutes until thickened.

Notes
Use low-sodium bouillon if you’re watching salt intake.
The roux must be golden, not dark brown—watch it closely.
Add a splash of water or broth when reheating to maintain consistency.
