the gravy; it was perfect just as it was. Thank you! :) My husband is an awesome cook and so I try to be at least competent! I was unsure how to make gravy, although I know he uses cornstarch! It worked great! I will try the wine recipe in the comment one time when it's just he and I. The kids have balked at winey flavored things. :) I always drain my drippings then scoop off/out the little flour crunchies. Next I pour the drippings into a large saucepan, add a stick of butter, handful of onions a bit of salt and pper to taste. I bring this to a boil,while waiting for this to boil I mix White Lily flour with warm water and whisk till smooth, I then add a few drops of Kitchen Bouquet to get a lovely light brown or tan tone, once the water and drippings boil I whisk the flour and KB mixture very quickly then turn off the heat and continue to whisk. I adjust with chicken stock or buttered water if it thickens too much. This is a basic restaurant gravy recipe, great over rice and mashed potatoes I just wanted to thank you for these simple to follow instructions! I have tried to make gravy a few times and it always turned out terrible. After reading this and trying it...my gravy turned out AMAZING! I used the corn starch method. I finally figured out what I had been doing wrong
