If you have trouble making gravy (trust me, it took me years to make a smooth gravy) try this technique. It's worth the time and effort. Ingredients:
3 cups broth (see note) |
3/4 cup flour |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon onion powder |
1/8 teaspoon white pepper |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons peanut oil |
salt, to taste |
Directions:
1. NOTE: Use beef, chicken, or turkey, and broth can be mixed with pan drippings.
2. Heat broth.
3. In a medium skillet melt butter with peanut oil, add flour, and slowly brown to a dark golden brown (you need to keep an eye on this as it may brown too quickly).
4. Slowly add broth, stirring constantly with a whisk.
5. Add spices, cook slowly, stirring often, for 20 minutes.
6. The cooking time is very important. Flour will have a bitter taste if not completely cooked. This is worth the time.
7. If gravy is too thick, it can be thinned with broth to desired consistency.
