The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black peppercorns
  • 6 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced, plus extra for garnish

Instruction

  • In a heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add bacon and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until fat has rendered. Add flour, then stir together and cook over low heat, stirring often, until golden and toasty-smelling, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Add chicken stock and cream, and simmer over low heat until reduced to a thick, pourable gravy, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in peppercorns and scallions, and taste for salt, adding more as needed. Serve hot.
