Homemade gravy

Post by Rocket »

Here's my recipe and it sucks. Too bland and lumpy. Ya'll teach me how to make better gravy please

Home Made Gravy
Ingredients:
• 2 tblsp flour
• 3/4 stick of butter
• 2 cups Chicken or Beef stock from bouillon cubes

Instructions:
• Put butter in a fry pan and melt it
• Add flour a litle at a time, mixing thoroughly with the butter
• Heat stock in a pan
• Add corn flour/butter mixture and stir until it thickens up

I tried adding Worcestershire Sauce for flavor but that sucked too
When I die I don't wanna go quietly in the night ...
I wanna slide in sideways kickin and screamin!

Lost it at butter and broth.

Use bacon or sausage greese add a couple tbl. Spoons of flour. Let it brown and turn iinto a paste. Keep pan hot. Pour in milk and use a fork to stir and deglaze the pan. Wbring it to boil the cut it off and pour over biscuits

Hang on I missed the wWorcester . What kind are you wanting to make? Beef , turkey, pork gravy. You can use the drippings from the pan and bring it to a boil in a pan and add corn starch or flour.

I like using corn starch to thicken the drippings. You can add carrots onions rosemary thyme to the stock/dripping with a little flour I. Pot and thin it with wine to make Augus for beef. Before you serve it just stain it to get the veggies out.

It turned out great! I had Tennessee family in town this weekend and was on the hook to cook breakfast Jaw Drop

I had to do it up right and this gravy just made it perfect. I learned to add corn starch AFTER it is cooking, ended up being really thick and I had to cut it with more milk but dang ... Chopped up some sausage and put into it too .... man o man that was a real hit

THANKS!
