anyone have a good gravy recipe I have the hardest time trying to make it
Fry up a mess of cubed steak. Leave enough grease in the pan just to cover the bottom. Add about 4 tablespoons of AP flour and cook in the grease until dark and bubbly. Add a good ol country boy portion of black pepper. Toss in some salt. Then add water slowly while stirring and get to your desired gravy thickness.
Slop the gravy over everything on yer plate and enjoy.
Make sure you work all of the flour into the grease prior to adding any liquid. Adding the liquid before the flour sticks to all of the grease is a sure fire way to get clumpy gravy!
what temp do yall cook the flour at? I think I might be burning the flour.
instead of straight water use a broth of some type, chicken or beef is the most common,
but rabbit broth makes the best gravy in the world(and dumplings)
The important thing is to not stop stirring as you add the flour then stir even more when the water goes in. other wise lumps will be the result
From time to time I do get lumps. No problem, I put it all in a blender for a little bit, lumps gone. Put back in the fry pan to cook. For the "right" color I use a little Kitchen Bouquet.
