Who knows how to make real gravy?

As opposed to that nasty, gelatinous, sludge that everyone makes now. Gravy is not meant to come from a pouch or jar of some powdery brown stuff!

Right here, dude. The only thing I make from a mix is brownies.

You mean with flour? I do. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist though lol
@Keepitsimple It's chemistry, actually.🤓 You have add the right stuff, in the right order, and at the right time and temp.👍

Yeah, when it comes out keep stirring to your thickness. Turn on the stove if you need to bring up the temp, lol. @UnderLockDown

Gravy for meat?
Don't forget to add the booze!
@Moonpenny Booze, for gravy? Why?
Moonpenny · F
@UnderLockDown It tastes richer
Ingwe · F

reduce it down
stir in real butter to emulcify
@Ingwe You make chemistry sound so good.😍

I haven't as of yet, but it doesn't seem too difficult. 🤔

Scrape up the brown bits add flour and milk stir.lol
I learned how to make a proper roux in my grandmother’s kitchen.
@bijouxbroussard Fancy words.🤓 What is the origin of this word (French?), and what is the proper pronunciation?
@UnderLockDown Yes, it’s the base for gravies and sauces, pronounced “roo”. Big in Creole and Cajun dishes.

ok. the powdery brown stuff is just the gravy in powder form...it is the same as beef/ chicken bouillon which can also be powdered.

however it isn't that hard to make "real" gravy but it requires actually cooking a damn bird to make it. Otherwise, you use powder or bouillon. the jar stuff is gross.
@Harmonium1923 😎👍

@Harmonium1923 I love roasting a chicken and making stuffing and gravy ..it has been a long while since I have though...because it is the meal I must get perfect. 😂
@JaggedLittlePill If thanksgiving weren't so close I would be going to get a whole chicken and some little red potatoes right now. That sounds so good.

I grew up making gravy several times per week. Im kinda ashamed of being that Southern. My mom would slap me if I try to serve canned or from a powder gravy. And gravies are so easy to boot.
@REMsleep Southern folks, and southern food, are awesome!!
Nothing to be ashamed of.
