Gravy

Gravy

1. Save juice from meat—strain from any meat. You can use that same pan you made the meat in. If you used a roaster, pour some of that hot potato water in the roaster to clean the sides of the roaster—that’s where a lot of the flavor is!

2. Add water, about a ½ cup (the water from potatoes is good water to use)

3. Boil the above.

4. Shake water (like a half a cup) & flour (or cornstarch, sometimes cornstarch is better; a couple Tablespoons). Use the silver can like Mom has. Shake it—you don’t want it real watery, you want it a little thick. Sometimes Mom uses cornstarch and flour together. 

5. Add more flour if it is too watery.

6. Add to boiling juice.

7. Stir; otherwise gets lumpy
