How to make it Gravy :

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes.

Gradually whisk in chicken stock. Reduce heat to low and cook and stir until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 4-6 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
