Make your own beef gravy mix to have on hand for fast, easy, last minute preparation any time. This ready gravy mix needs only a bit of water to bring all the seasonings together in a rich, hearty gravy perfect for burgers, Salisbury steak, pot pies, mashed potatoes and more…
Probably the most wonderful part of making homemade seasoning, sauce or gravy mixes is the ability to control the ingredients. If you happen to be following a lower sodium diet, simply choose a low sodium beef bouillon,
You’ll Need:
- 1 1/3 cups instant nonfat milk powder
- 3/4 cup instant flour Wondra
- 3 tablespoons instant beef bouillon granules
- 1/8 teaspoon ground thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ground sage
Combine all the ingredients into a medium size bowl, mixing well to ensure the ingredients are completely blended. Divide the mix evenly into 4 small baggies (1/2 c. each) (or leave in a jar & label).
You can use regular flour, but you will have to whisk really well to prevent any lumps in your gravy. If you use instant flour, you will have perfect gravy every time. Instant flour is a pregelatanized, low-protein flour that dissolves quickly and smoothly in liquids, regardless of temperature. Pregalatinization is simply a process in which the flour is heated with steam, then dried back out. The most common brand name of instant flour is Wondra.
