[header] How to make country gravy [title] Heat the butter in a small saucepan. [step] Melt 2 tbsp (30 ml) of butter in a small to medium saucepan over medium heat. [substeps] Let the butter melt completely before moving on to the next step, but try to avoid letting it boil or steam. 
You could also use a large skillet to make country gravy instead of a saucepan. If you were cooking meat in your skillet before you started cooking the gravy, you can use the leftover pan drippings from the cooked meat instead of or alongside the butter.
