Homemade Gravy Help

6 replies

IfYoureNotIntoYoga · 17/03/2020 16:12

Please could I ask how I make homemade gravy?

I have about 2L of Meat Juices from slow cooker Topside Beef so very very little fat.

I have Gravy Salt but no Cornflour.

How can I thicken the juices into a Gravy please?

You can use a mixture of butter and plain or self raising flour. Just cream together and add then boil for a few minutes stirring to allow the flour to thicken the grave, keep adding until you have it the way you like it. I would freeze in quantities that you will use, and then just thicken what you need.

Ah ok thank you, so if I freeze the juices I don't want now and then thicken them on demand rather than thicken it all now and freezing?

The old fashioned way is to put a little fat (pref from the meat) into a tin on the stove. If its w the one you cooked the meat in scrag up all the sticky bits. Ssprinkle in a desertsoon of flours and cook it a little, stirring all the time. Then add the stock little by little stirring all the time and cook for a minute or two. Dont freeze cornflour it defrosts horribly. Just freeze the stock and thicken it when you want to use it

I volunteer to come round and help you make it and slurp all your grave while you are not looking
