Heat a saucepan or skillet on medium heat. Add the butter.
When melted, add in the flour. Add it in stages and stir continuously to avoid clumping. This will create a roux, which will thicken the gravy.
Add 1 cup of broth and the spices. Stir until the gravy begins to thicken. If the gravy is too thick, add additional broth. Stir (and continue to add broth) until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Whisk continuously (be patient) to remove any clumps.
Taste repeatedly and add salt and pepper to taste as needed.
