Mom's Gravy

This is the best recipe for gravy ever; it never fails! I use this recipe as a base for creamy soups and sauces as well. It is extremely low-calorie unless you add cream to it, which is certainly not necessary. It can also be made gluten free as long as you use gluten free boullion cubes or broth.

Mom's Gravy

3 c. cold water and 6 chicken-flavored boullion cubes or just 3 c. chicken broth
1 c. milk
4 T. corn starch
Salt

opt. drizzle Kitchen Bouquet (It's a liquid in a bottle, it's "browning flavoring")

Whisk the first three ingredients together in a saucepan, slowly turning the heat up to a simmer. Keep whisking until thickened. Add salt to taste. Add a drizzle of Kitchen bouquet, not too much. Makes one quart.

You can also used Beef-flavored boullion or beef broth for a brown gravy.

You can add any meat drippings, cream, or any other combination of seasonings.
