Step-By-Step Gravy Instructions


1!. Heat oil or grease in skillet over medium heat, until it shimmers and swims around slightly

2!. Add flour evenly around skillet and stir constantly with the back side of a wooden spoon, pressing against the skillet surface to prevent the flour from clumping!.

3!. Move the spoon in circular motions continuously from the middle out to rim of skillet and back!. Continue the process for about 5 minutes or until mixture produces a smooth, blended paste (roux)!.

4!. Stir frequently as mixture begins to glisten and turn golden!. Roux (flour paste) in middle of skillet cooks faster than the rest and can burn on the bottom while appearing merely brown on top!. If mixture threatens to burn, lower the heat!.

5!. When roux (flour paste) reaches desired brownness, add the liquid, stirring constantly as it is poured!. Continue stirring until mixture is well blended and smooth!.

6!. Simmer gravy for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking!. Season to taste!.




* All-purpose flour is suitable for gravies!.
Cake flour has more thickening power because it is lower in protein!.
Self-rising flour tends to foam up like the head on beer!.
Cornstarch tends to blend better for thickening sauces but when used
to make gravy, it does not have the same taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When I do it I use the chicken juices!. I drain of the clear fat so there is just the chicken juices there!. I then either put the chicken juice in a pan or use the tray that the chicken was cooked in and put it on the hob!. I add about 2 tablespoons of flower and mix with the chicken juices and stir it while on a low heat for a minute or a few minute then I gradually add some chicken stock I can't remember the exact measurements 3/4 something like that!. I also take the water from any vegetables I'm cooking and add a chicken stock cube to it for more flavour!. Once I've added the stock to the chicken juice and flower, I stir it on a medium low heat until it starts to simmer and then I let it simmer for about 2 minutes or until thickened and then season it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

skim the fat of the chicken stock (a little tip add some ice cubes and the fat will rise to the top)remove the fat add stock to pan on low heat add some water from cooking veg (carrots broccoli ect)whisk in 2 tablespoons of cornflour a chicken oxo or stock cube black pepper!.

then adjust to your taste so if u want it thinner add some more water thicker add more cornflour!.

Everyone comments on my gravy hope u enjoy it and have a nice dinner xxWww@FoodAQ@Com

here how i make mine

1 melt a 1/2 a stick of butter
2 while melting add a cube of Ckn bullion
2 after butter in melted and bullion is dissolved whisk in 1/2 cup flour
3 once that is all mixed ( it will be kind of a lumpy consistency whisk in cold water till smooth
4 let stand on low heat for a few mins and DONE easy gravy

this also work w/ beef and veg my fam loves it you may also add some spice and others things for taste i!.e pepper, garlic, onions, mushrooms ( i don't recommend salt due to the fact the bullion is salty itselfWww@FoodAQ@Com

My Mum's fantastic chicken gravy is:
Put the fatty juices from the chicken in a pan, add some flour, cook a bit, then add some chicken stock, then stir, stir, stir!.!. You can add some of the water from cooking the veggies too if you need more liquid!. This gravy is divine on new potatoes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

my mum uses the all the liquid that remains after cooking the chicken, then as a bit of flour to thicken and cook it out, it comes out great every timeWww@FoodAQ@Com
