LUMPY GRAVY

You have just invited the in-laws over for you’re first home cooked meal for them. You are making gravy, and you notice that it is lumpy!

Easiest fix is just to dump the gravy in the blender and puree.

If the gravy is too thick, dilute with broth or water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved.

If the gravy is too thin, combine ¼ cup flour with ¼ cup cold water and mix well. Add the water/flour slurry to the simmering gravy a tablespoon at a time, and let cook for at least 2 minutes before adding more. Continue adding until desired consistency is achieved.

Remember, as Gravy cools down it thickens, so don’t make it too thick before serving.
