Gravy Making

This week's tip will help you with gravy making.
*

When you are thickening your gravy with flour or cornstarch, make a paste with the cornstarch or flour by adding broth, wine or water. Make sure that all the lumps are out of the paste before adding the gravy.

*

Always use a whisk when making your gravy. When adding the cornstarch or flour paste, whisk rapidly so that the gravy will not get lumpy.

* Make sure that all of the flour is cooked before serving your gravy. Bring gravy to a boil after flour has been added; cook and stir for 1 to 3 minutes.
* Add salt and pepper just before serving.
* For added flavor to your chicken or turkey gravy, add a can of chicken broth to the gravy before adding the flour or cornstarch paste.

Note: Gravy equals juices from cooked meat.
