Notes
If you are using a cubed beef bouillon, use the back of a spoon to break it apart.
How do I use arrowroot or cornstarch? Simply use 2-3 tablespoons in replace of the flour. Note that using either of these will change the color and texture of your gravy slightly. Not in a bad way, just a little different.
Tips:
- For a lower sodium version, use low-sodium beef bouillon and add salt at the end only if needed.
- This mix is designed to mimic a standard brown gravy packet. Use 2 tablespoons mix for every 1 cup of gravy.
- Gravy continues to thicken as it cools. If it gets too thick, whisk in a splash of water or stock.
