Tips and Tricks for the Best Gravy
  • Use a whisk to whisk in the flour as well as the stock! This is the best way to prevent lumps from forming in the gravy.
  • Add the stock in a slow and steady stream, while also whisking to also help prevent lumps and for a smooth and creamy stock.
  • Continue to whisk the gravy as it simmers and thickens to prevent it from burning on the bottom of the pot.
  • Make sure the garlic is fork tender and slightly caramelized for the best overall flavor!
  • Want the gravy to have an extra kick of richness to it? Add a splash of cream!
