Gravy using Broth:

The broth used: canned, homemade broth, etc.... or even made from bouillon/water.  Many kinds to choose from, such as chicken, beef, turkey, pork. This recipe makes a more 'clear' gravy because we are using corn starch (flour gravies are a more 'cloudy' type gravy).

​

​2 c. broth (can also use drippings from a roast: add water to equal 2 c.)

up to 1/2 tsp. garlic granules

up to 1/2 tsp. onion granules or powder

up to 1 tsp. or so worcestershire sauce (optional)

__________________________________________________​

1/4 cup cold water + 3 tablespoons corn starch

salt and pepper to taste

 

In a medium saucepan, bring broth choice to boiling over medium-high heat. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, worcestershire sauce (optional), with the 1/4 c. cold water, then add the corn starch and stir until dissolved. Pour this mixture into the boiling broth while stirring with whisk; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook/stir for a minute or two, even if it is already thickened. Season with salt and pepper to personal taste.
