Notes

  • Gluten Free - Simply substitute corn starch for flour at a 1:2 ratio to make this gluten free. That means you'd use 1/4 c. corn starch instead of 1/2 c. flour.
  • Gravy with milk - If you are looking for a creamy gravy like sausage gravy just substitute part of the liquid for milk. 
  • Avoid lumps - The trick to making gravy lump free is to whisk continuously and slowly add in the flour while whisking. 
  • Thicker Gravy - If you would like the gravy thicker simply whisk in a little more of the flour or cornstarch. Although make sure you simmer it before you do this as it will thicken as it simmers.
