Ingredients

4 servings

1 tbsp ham drippings butter or unsalted butter
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
¾ cup strong brewed black coffee
¼ cup water
1 tsp cornstarch
Chef's tip
For thickening, use about 1 1/3 times as much tapioca starch, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first; take the pan off the heat soon after it thickens.
1 tbsp cold water
¼ tsp salt, or to taste
⅛ tsp black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

1
After cooking ham steaks or ham slices, leave the drippings in the skillet over medium heat. If you don't have drippings, melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat.
2
Pour in the coffee and water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a whisk until the fond is fully dissolved, about 1 minute.
