Ingredients

Instructions
White Gravy Mix
- In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
- Store in a spice bottle, mason jar, or other sealed container, in the pantry, for up to 6 months. Store in a well sealed container in the freezer for up to a year.
- Melt the butter (or other fat) in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add two Tablespoons of gravy mix and stir constantly until the mix has absorbed all the melted fat. Cook for about 1 minute longer, continuing to stir, to cook off the flour flavor.
- Slowly add in about a third of the water, then pause and combine the mixture before slowly adding the rest of the water.
- Constantly stir for another 3 minutes or until the gravy is thickened to your preference. (I remove it from the heat once it lightly coats the back of a spoon).
- The gravy will continue to thicken as it cools. Use immediately or store in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to 3 days.
