Description
This 5-minute Gluten Free Gravy uses a ‘cold start’ method to guarantee no lumps. It is rich, savory, and works with chicken, beef, or turkey broth.
Ingredients
2 cups broth, stock, or cooled turkey drippings (chicken, turkey, veggie, or beef)
¼ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (or 3 tbsp cornstarch)
¼ cup unsalted butter (use dairy-free butter for DF option)
Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Place all ingredients (broth, flour, butter) into a small saucepan. Do not turn the heat on yet.
2. Turn the heat to medium. Whisk constantly as the butter melts and the flour incorporates.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil. Continue whisking vigorously until the gravy is smooth and thickened.
4. Remove from heat. The gravy will thicken slightly more as it cools. Serve immediately.
Notes
**Flour Choice:** Use a high-quality blend (like Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 in the blue bag). Bean-based blends (often red bags) can create a gritty texture.
**No Lumps Rule:** Always start with cold or room temperature ingredients. If you add flour to hot liquid, it will clump immediately.
**Drippings:** If using turkey drippings, let them cool first. Taste them before adding salt, as they can be very salty.
**Storage:** Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Freeze for up to 3 months.
