Basic Gravy (W/O Pan Drippings) image

I adapted this recipe from THE JOY OF COOKING and have been making it for more years than I care to remember. It's fast and easy.... fast and easy enough to be able to make a 2nd batch in the middle of dinner b/c folks scarfed up the first batch! NOTE: I'm not sure how 1-2 TEAspoons of Worcestershire got changed to 1-2 TABLEspoons.... which is way too much! I've changed the recipe back to 1-2 TEAspoons of Worcestershire.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my gravy turned out bitter. I think I might have used too much black pepper.

This gravy is a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This gravy is a great way to use up leftover meat. I always make a big batch and freeze it for later.

I made this gravy for my Christmas dinner and it was a disaster! It was watery and had no flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the gravy turned out lumpy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I was skeptical about making gravy without pan drippings, but this recipe proved me wrong. The gravy was rich and flavorful, and it went perfectly with my mashed potatoes and turkey. I'll definitely be making this again!
