Ingredients:

  • 2 cups broth
  • 4 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 2 heaping tsp. garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon ( less than 1/16 tsp.)
  • 1/3 tsp. sugar
  • 5 tbsp cold water
  • 5 tbsp flour

Directions:

  1. In a 2 quart sauce pan add the chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, cinnamon and sugar. Use a whisk to mix everything well. Heat to a boil, reduce heat to a low boil and cook for 3 minutes. Whisk frequently to make sure all spices dissolve.
  2. While the sauce is on a slow simmer/boil, add 5 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. With another whisk mix 1 tablespoon at a time of flour. Whisk vigorously to avoid lumps. If you have lumps here, you will definitely have lumps in your sauce.
  3. After 3 minutes of cooking sauce, turn the heat up to high. Very slowly, pour the flour mixture into the boiling sauce. Here you must whisk the sauce vigorously while adding the flour to avoid lumps.
  4. After all the flour is added, continue to whisk for one minute. You can turn the heat down to medium during this time. Just make sure the sauce is boiling.
