This isn't hard at all. Put equal parts flour and fat in a skillet. Butter gives the best taste, but I've used olive oil or Smart Balance for a healthier alternate. Brown the flour SLIGHTLY in the fat. It will bubble and foam, what you are looking for is for the flour to turn from white to beige to slightly more than beige. Caramel colored is too far, you're looking for the color of a cooked Pizza dough, or less.
Once you reach that stage, pull it off the fire, and slowly start adding your broth, stirring all the while. Once you have at least a half cup or more of broth in the pan, you can return it to the fire, continue stirring, and let the heat thicken the gravy. You should turn off the burner before it has quite thickened as much as you want, because the gravy will thicken as it cools.
I generally use four or five tbs. of fat and flour to each can of Swanson's broth.
