Notes
- Always use room temperature or cool liquid to add to the hot roux. Gradually add and continuously whisk to separate the starches and thicken the gravy. Bringing the mixture to a low boil, enables the starches to thicken.
- How do you save your drippings? Excellent question. You can pour your drippings through a strainer and then separate the fat by spooning off the fat. You could also use a fat separator cup.
- What can you add to gravy for flavor? You can add seasonings at the end of cooking. Will you add fresh herbs, vegetables, mustard, or a splash of wine?
- Prefer a deeper brown color for your gravy? No problem. Add a teaspoon of gravy master, it's gluten free.
- Keep Your Gravy Warm. Gravy thickens as it cools which creates a pudding like texture so you will want to keep it warm in a thermos or water bath until you're ready to serve.
- How long will your gravy keep? Remember gravy is perishable. You can keep it in the fridge for 2 days.
