Homemade Brown Gravy Mix
Homemade Brown Gravy Mix is a dry gravy mix that combines pantry staples that you probably already have on hand to create a flavorful base for rich brown gravy. There is no need to go out and buy a packet of dry gravy mix when you can make a batch to have on hand for up to a year! And, you can even make the gravy without any meat drippings.
Servings: 4 cups dry mix
Ingredients
Dry Gravy Mix
- 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (180 g) beef bouillon powder
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
To Make Gravy
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, or meat drippings from turkey, pork, or chicken
- 2 tablespoons gravy mix
- 1 cup (240 g) beef broth
Instructions
Dry Gravy Mix
- In a large bowl, combine flour, beef bouillon powder, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley.
- Transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Store it in a cool, dry place for up to 1 year.
To Make Gravy
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter (or meat drippings, if using). Whisk in the dry gravy mix, creating a roux.
- Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to break up any clumps.
- Heat the mixture until it reaches a simmer. Continue cooking until the gravy thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (approximately 5 more minutes).
- Remove the gravy from the heat and let it rest. The gravy will continue to thicken as it cools.
