About

The seasonings are per cup of liquid — set the servings to the number of cups of gravy you need. Start with a roux.

Preparation

  1. Make the roux.
  2. Once the roux is ready, slowly incorporate the hot liquid, stirring constantly.
  3. Bring to a simmer; it should thicken after a minute or two. Remember it will thicken further as it cools, so leave it a touch thin while piping hot.
  4. If you need more body: mix a little cornstarch with just enough cold water to make a white liquid, then stir it in. This also makes the gravy glossy.
