Tips & Warnings

• If you get lumps in your gravy, you can put the gravy in the blender to make it smooth, or you can mash out the lumps with your spoon.
• Meat broth can be gotten from the cooked meat you got the drippings from, or bought in the cooking section of your grocery store.
• The type of meat you got the drippings from should match the type of broth you use. For example, if you used beef drippings then you should use beef broth for the best taste.
• Add the broth to the flour and drippings mixture right away or the mixture will burn.
