How To Make Gravy

Gravy is a delicious condiment that can make your meals more flavorful and satisfying. But making gravy from scratch is a bit of a chore. That's why so many people just buy it in a jar. But if you have the time and the right ingredients, making your own gravy is really not so hard.
There are many different ways to make gravy, according to the ingredients that you have on hand. The basic ingredients for gravy are a fat, a flour, and a liquid. The fat can be butter, bacon grease, or even chicken fat. The flour can be all-purpose flour, cornstarch, or even almond flour. And the liquid can be water, stock, or even juice.
Once you have your ingredients, you will need to cook the fat and flour together until they form a paste. This is called a roux. The roux is what will thicken the gravy. Once you have made the roux, you will slowly add your liquid while whisking constantly. This will prevent the gravy from becoming lumpy.
Once you have added all of your liquid, you will need to bring the gravy to a simmer and cook until it has thickened. This will take a few minutes. Once the gravy has thickened, you are free to season it to your taste. You can add salt, pepper, herbs, and spices.
Gravy is a versatile condiment that can be used to enhance a variety of dishes. It is perfect for roasted meats, grilled chicken, and mashed potatoes. It can also be used to make a delicious gravy sandwich.
So if you have the time and the ingredients, I encourage you to try making your own gravy from scratch. It is really not that hard, and it is so much better than store-bought gravy.
