What ingredients do I need to make a decent gravy?

What ingredients do I need to make a decent gravy?

clay. Literally take a lump, roll it out into a fairly slim sausage, then pinch the two ends together so you have a loop, then pinch again in the middle so you have the outline of a heart. Flatten slightly if you want. We added family members names (one each). Leave to dry, and that's it.
