- To Make Gravy with the Mix:
- Melt 2 Tbsp butter, oil or fat drippings in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in 2 Tbsp of the gravy mix and stir for roughly 1 minute to help cook the flour in the mix. Break up any clumps. Note, if you like thicker gravy, consider adding an extra 1/2 Tbsp of the mix.
- Whisk in 1 C of water (or salt-free broth) and bring to a simmer.
- Cook, stirring often, until the gravy thickens to your liking. A good test is to make sure it coats the back of a spoon.
- Season with salt, or extra bouillon, and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot.
