Ingredients

Scale

Gravy Mix Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour
  • ⅓ Cup Beef Bouillon Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper

To Prepare 1 Cup of Gravy

  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Gravy Mix
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter (or drippings)
  • 1 Cup Warm Water

Instructions

  1. Make the Gravy Mix: In a small bowl, combine all the dry ingredients – all-purpose flour, beef bouillon powder, and black pepper – and mix thoroughly until well blended. This forms your dry gravy base.
  2. Store the Mix: Transfer the combined mix to an airtight container and store it in your pantry. It keeps well for up to 6 months, ready to use whenever you want a quick brown gravy.
  3. Melt the Butter: To make 1 cup of gravy, melt 2 tablespoons of butter (or drippings) in a saucepan over medium heat. Ensure the butter is fully melted before proceeding to the next step.
  4. Cook the Mix with Butter: Add 2 tablespoons of the brown gravy mix to the melted butter. Stir constantly, allowing the mix to absorb all the butter, then continue stirring and cooking for about 60 seconds to cook out the raw flour taste.
  5. Add Water Gradually: Slowly pour in about one-third of the 1 cup warm water while stirring continuously. Pause to let the mixture begin to thicken before adding the remaining water gradually. This helps prevent lumps and ensures a smooth texture.
  6. Finish the Gravy: Keep stirring until the gravy thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Once thickened, remove the pan from heat.
  7. Serve or Store: Use the gravy immediately for best flavor. Alternatively, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze it for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Use warm water to avoid lumps and ensure smooth gravy.
  • Butter can be substituted with meat drippings for extra flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste by adding more pepper or bouillon if desired.
  • Gravy mix stores well for up to 6 months in an airtight container kept in a cool, dry place.
  • Leftover gravy should be refrigerated promptly and used within 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Stir gravy constantly when cooking to prevent burning or clumping.
