SpicenEasy's Perfect Silky Gravy
-
Prep Time: 2 minutes
-
Cook Time: 5 minutes
-
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients:
-
2 tbsp SpicenEasy Cornflour
-
2 tbsp cold water
-
2 cups beef, chicken, or vegetable stock
-
Pan drippings from roast meat (optional, but recommended)
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Make a Slurry: In a small bowl or jug, mix the cornflour with the cold water until you have a completely smooth, thin paste. This is the key to preventing lumps!
-
Heat Liquid: Pour the stock (and pan drippings, if using) into a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
-
Thicken the Gravy: While whisking the simmering stock continuously, slowly pour in the cornflour slurry.
-
Simmer: Continue to whisk for 1-2 minutes as the gravy thickens and comes back to a simmer. It will become glossy and smooth.
-
Season and Serve: Season with salt and plenty of black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately with your favourite roast.
Chef's Tip: Always mix cornflour with a cold liquid first to create a slurry before adding it to hot liquid – this is the golden rule for lump-free results! For a richer flavour, you can sauté a tablespoon of finely chopped onion in the pan before adding the stock. If your gravy becomes too thick, simply thin it out with a little more stock or water.
