Old Fashioned Flour Gravy created by Swirling F.

Ready In:: 30mins
Ingredients:: 8
Serves:: 8

ingredients

3 cups broth (see note)
³⁄₄ cup flour
¹⁄₈ teaspoon garlic powder
¹⁄₈ teaspoon onion powder
¹⁄₈ teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons peanut oil
salt, to taste

directions

NOTE: Use beef, chicken, or turkey, and broth can be mixed with pan drippings.
Heat broth.
In a medium skillet melt butter with peanut oil, add flour, and slowly brown to a dark golden brown (you need to keep an eye on this as it may brown too quickly).
Slowly add broth, stirring constantly with a whisk.
Add spices, cook slowly, stirring often, for 20 minutes.
The cooking time is very important. Flour will have a bitter taste if not completely cooked. This is worth the time.
If gravy is too thick, it can be thinned with broth to desired consistency.

Thank you, ElaineAnn, for this recipe! I can tell you it was a lifesaver at Thanksgiving and everyone raved about how good the gravy was. I will be making this again...I think it would be awesome with sausage and biscuits.

My husband and son really liked this gravy. This is a nice recipe to have when you want gravy and aren't cooking meat. Thanks ElaineAnn. Bullwinkle.
