Homemade Gravy

We're making a simple and delicious homemade gravy! This recipe is super easy and only requires 4 x ingredients to whip it up from scratch. Trust me, it tastes wayyyy better than the packet stuff! Smother this all over your Sunday roast, bangers and mash, or hot chips.

Ingredients

1/2 cup full fat milk
1 very heaped tbsp cornflour (or regular flour)
2 x stock cubes - use beef for red meat, chicken for white meat
2 cups water

Optional - add Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce to taste.

INGREDIENTS NOTE: if you're making vegan gravy, substitute the milk for plant based and use vegetable or plant based stock cubes.

Method

In a saucepan, bring the water and the stock cubes to a boil. Stir to dissolve the stock cubes.
Meanwhile, in a jug or bowl combine the cornflour and milk. Whisk to combine and continue to whisk until smooth. Add this to the saucepan, stir and then reduce to a low to medium heat.
Cook, and let the mixture reduce and thicken until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Enjoy while it’s hot!

METHOD NOTES: If your gravy is not thickening as fast or as much as you’d like, you can add a little more cornflour by dissolving in a small amount of water, and then adding it to the saucepan.
