GRAVY STARTER RECIPES

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat about 1 minute, do not brown; add 1 can of the broth; bring to a simmer.
• In large measuring cup or bowl with a pouring spout, whisk remaining can of broth, gravy starter and flour.
• Gradually pour flour mixture into simmering broth while stirring with a wooden spoon to incorporate.
• Add salt, poultry seasoning and pepper.
• Increase heat to medium-high and bring mixture to a full boil.
• Once boiling, cook 3 minutes, until thickened (to test thickness, draw your finger through gravy on back of spoon. If distinct line forms, the gravy is ready).
• Transfer to a gravy boat and serve warm.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook until golden, 1 minute, then whisk in pan drippings. (If you have more than a cup of drippings, use it and reduce the amount of broth!) Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently until slightly thickened.  Stir in fresh herbs, then whisk in 1 cup broth and return mixture to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper.  Simmer 10 minutes, gradually adding more broth if gravy is too thick. Adjust seasoning.
