Making good gravy from scratch is an art and a science. The slightest alterations can make this decadent sauce either full of flavor or (if you’re not careful!) full of lumps. Follow these pro tips and easy recipes to make your tastiest gravy yet!

It All Starts with Stock: Use the best broth or stock you can source for making a gravy that’s both high-quality and flavorful.

Whisk Slowly: To avoid lumps, go slow as you add the stock into your roux.

Aromatic Inclusions: Add in fresh or dried herbs or things like mushrooms or caramelized onions for extra savory deliciousness.

Consistency Check: The gravy should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon!

Think about Thickness: Gravy thickens as it sits, especially in the fridge overnight. Whisk in hot stock or water a tablespoon at a time to thin it out if needed. If it’s too thin, add in some cornstarch.  

Serve in Style: Add an elegant touch to your table with a BIA Gravy Boat. While you're at it, find a wide variety of their high-quality cookware and serving dishes at your local Nugget Market!
