If, like me, you absolutely LOVE GRAVY but have never really been able to get it right and, if you did, it was purely accidental then THIS IS THE BEST WEB PAGE THAT YOU WILL EVER READ!!!

I've bookmarked it, saved it, copied all of the text and pasted it into a new file, tatooed it on my cat, etc.  Have a look, it's very concise: http://www.bettertimesinfo.org/gravy.htm

Thanks the link looks great and I will use it soon I'm sure.
 
great article Myth,  i printed it already and will use it

I would have gravy in my veins if the heart could pump it

keep up the good work
 
I've used corn starch before, too.  It takes 1/2 the amount and you mix it with some cold water first, IIRC.  The instructions for the amounts were on the package.  I though it was good, but I haven't done a side-by-side comparison yet.
 
I like to think of myself as a gravy goddess. LOL! I make sooo many different kinds and I wanted to tell you guys that potato starch and potato flour are good to use for gravies as well as thicken up soups and stews. If I'm making a basic roux then it's regular ap flour and butter. Something I notice people do when making roux for gravy is they have the heat up too high. When making a white gravy (like sawmill gravy) you only want to get the raw taste out of the flour and it will brown very quickly if the heat is too high. You guys are familiar with low and slow, and it's best to make a gravy this way too. Just my two cents. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna go make me some good old sawmill gravy and biscuits for supper. Yummmmm.

Thanks for the tips, Cheryl -- I was hoping that you'd bring some of that GA-girl know-how into this thread!

It is fried squash with vidalia onions. Yum. The butter beans were divine. Thank gawd no one is sleeping near me tonite! LOL!
 
I am a gravy freak - I love gravy so much that for the last 30 years we have a "crayon cup" that I use to drink gravy

I agree on the potato flour - it really makes a nice gravy -

 I refuse to comment any further on the comment from AK1
