    Old diner tip- My MIL used to work in a diner and told me if you want your brown gravy dark just sprinkle in a little freeze dried/instant coffee. It does not change the flavor at all and just looks darker. I've been doing that for years.

    This was really interesting. English woman here 🇬🇧 and I’ve often wondered what all these gravy’s you use are. For us there are two types of gravy, the ready to use bisto, just add boiling water in a jug type you’d pour over your meat, potatoes and veg for a quick gravy on a midweek meal or proper gravy made from the meat juices from a roast where you pour off excess fat, put your roasting tin on the hob, add plain flour, mix to incorporate everything until smooth, add boiling water and season to taste. Your white gravy to us is a rue sauce, butter, plain flour and milk and is the foundation for many sauces like adding dill for fish or adding cheese for macaroni cheese etc. I’m going to try to portion your gravy’s down to a single serving to give them a try as I love the idea of having different ready to use in my larder. Thank you ❤

      bouillon is great to drink on cold days alone, it can also be used in stews, soups, gravies and probably other things I haven't thought of yet.

    Because of Coeliac's (severe gluten intolerance) in the family, could I successfully substitute the All purpose flour with corn starch for the brown gravy mix? (or any of them, I suppose).

      @TalesFromAnEmptyNest  28 днів тому +3

      Someone else asked this too. I’m not an expert and I’ve never substituted it, but from what I’ve read, it may not work in large amounts. Most things say use half as much cornstarch than you would flour, but I honestly have no idea if it will work. Please let me know if you do try it😊

    On your dry mix of Country gravy can I leave out the dry milk? Since I am putting milk in to make it?

    • @TalesFromAnEmptyNest
      @TalesFromAnEmptyNest  14 днів тому

      The dry mix needs the powdered milk even if you’re adding regular milk to it when you cook it. Otherwise you’d just be mixing flour and milk in a pot. Which would be ok if you made a roux first, but that defeats the purpose of it being instant gravy lol. Hopefully all that makes sense😁😁

    Thanks for the recipes. I usually make mine right in the pan as I need it because I am one person only. These 3 are great if you have people over for dinner as it will make a larger quantity.
    I also really like Onion White Sauce by sauteeing some thinly sliced onion slivers in butter until golden and soft, add some flour or cornstarch so you have a thick paste and it 'cooks' while stirring, then add some water or chicken bouillon (from powder). Stir and thicken and can sieve out the onions for picky eaters who do not like the onion bits or eat as is over something. Yum to all gravies and sauces!

    I have been making so many things from scratch these past few mos (mainly due to finances) but now I just can not go back to boxes and cans .From scratch is just so much tastier, healthier, and cheaper. Almost $2 can (after tax), for Campbell's is absolutely ridiculous. And store brands are cheaper, but don't have many flavors. They can keep it.

    I really like these gravy and soup mixes. The bouillon mix is a great idea since i buy nootch in bulk to get the best price. I use nootch in nearly all my soups and stews to add nutrition and flavor. I also have dehydrated mushrooms that I could grind into powder to add to the bouillon mix, maybe cutting the nutritional yeast by a quarter cup to yield the same volume.
