Good Meat Or Chicken Gravy From Drippings Recipes

Steps:

• Add water to the chicken drippings to make about 1 1/2 cups of liquid in the bottom of the roaster.
• Whisk water into the flour until it is thick, but not pasty. Whisk the flour/water mixture into the drippings, and put the roaster on the stove over medium heat. Stir constantly until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Pour fat from drippings into a bowl and reserve. Whisk flour into remaining drippings left in pan; mixture will seem dry. Add 2 tablespoons reserved fat, or as needed, to the drippings mixture to combine with flour.
• Place pan of drippings mixture over low heat and toast flour until light brown and mixture gives off a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes.
• Drizzle about 1/3 cup cold chicken stock at a time into pan drippings, whisking each addition of stock into mixture until thoroughly combined. Continue whisking, scraping any browned pan drippings from the bottom of the pan into gravy; bring to a simmer. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until gravy is thick and flour has combined with the liquid, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Adjust thickness of gravy; if too thick, whisk in a little more stock. If gravy is too thin, continue to simmer, whisking constantly, until reduced and thickened, about 10 more minutes. For the smoothest texture, strain gravy before serving.

Steps:

• 1. After roasting remove your roast be it chicken, beef, ham, pork or turkey. Remove to a seperate plate or pan.
• 2. Add the two cups water to the drippings with a wire wisk stir the drippings up from the bottom of the pan. Season the mixture with a little salt, black pepper, garlic and onion powder. Note: If your meat was a baked ham then add only one cup of water and one cup of black coffee. This only if you are making a ham gravy. This is called Red Eye gravy. Put the pan on the heat and begin to heat the mixture.
• 3. To the heated mixture begin to sprinke your flour over the mixture and continue to stir with the wisk until it becomes the consistency of gravy. You may need to use a little more flour. Put your heat on medium and continue to stir until you have a nice gravy. You cannot use any other flour with this method other then the Gold Medal Wondra flour or a powdered flour made especially for gravies. If you do you will get lumps. If you want to add onions, or mushrooms saute in a seperate fry pan in a little oil your chopped onions and mushrooms then add to the gravy and simmer 10 minutes. If you have a lot of drippings you can add more water and more flour to make more then 2 cups of gravy. Of course you will have to adjust the seasonings. Most important make sure you cook your gravy a good ten minutes so the flour cooks good. Enjoy

Steps:

• In a sauce pan, melt the butter.
• Cook the onion until lightly browned, roughly 5-8 minutes.
• Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Whisk in the stock and cook uncovered until thickened, roughly 5 minutes.
• Whisk in the cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve while hot. (See Note).
• Note - You can make this ahead of time since no meat drippings are needed. It will gel up in the fridge, so when you are ready to serve, heat it back up in a sauce pan and whisk until smooth and hot. * If you have picky eaters who won't eat onion chunks or if the onions get a little overdone, strain the onions before serving.
