Notes

To make Country Gravy

Ingredients:

1/4 Cup Country Gravy Mix (from the recipe above)
2 Cups Water, or milk
2 Tablespoons Butter

Stove Top Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Add 1/4 cup of the Country Gravy Mix to the melted butter and whisk until it forms a paste.

Gradually stir water or milk, ensuring there are no lumps.

Continue whisking over medium heat until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. This may take about 5-7 minutes.

Adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thinner gravy, you can add more water or milk.

Microwave Instructions
In a microwavable bowl, melt the butter.

Add the Country Gravy Mix to the melted butter and stir until it forms a smooth paste.
Gradually whisk in the water or milk, ensuring there are no lumps in the mixture.

Microwave the mixture on high for 2-3 minutes, stopping to whisk every 30 seconds or so. The gravy should thicken as it heats.

If the gravy is too thick, add more water or milk in small increments until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, microwave for additional 30-second intervals until it thickens.

Serve the country gravy over biscuits, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, or any dish of your choice.

Enjoy your homemade Country Gravy.

Number of Servings

The number of servings depends on how much gravy you use per serving. The recipe for the Country Gravy Mix makes approximately 1 cup of dry mix. When you make the gravy, the 1/4 cup of mix combined with 2 cups of liquid will yield about 2 1/4 cups of prepared gravy.

As a general guideline, a serving of gravy is often around 1/4 to 1/3 cup per person. Therefore, the prepared amount of gravy from this recipe could yield approximately 6 to 9 servings, depending on how generously you use the gravy.

Keep in mind that these estimates can vary based on personal preferences and the specific application of the gravy in your dishes. Adjust the quantities accordingly based on your needs.
