      I actually don't eat pork. But I use turkey sausage and beef bacon with grease, with a little extra sage, then I reserve the juice and meat. I then take cornstarch, milk, powered full fat milk, sage or poultry seasoning, black pepper, and CORN STARCH, and a dash of black coffee, and a dash of MSG. Bring to a boil in my cast iron, after it's salted and peppered, I put the browned meat back in.
      I cook for a family of 8. Fresh buttermilk (baking soda, ap flour, sugar, salt, buttermilk, butter flavored crisco or butter.) It's a favorite! May make it for supper!

      I always use milk and milnot condensed milk in my gravy. I wish you would make the 2 ingredient biscuits on your video. So easy . 2 cups of heavy cream and 2 cups of self rising flour. Stir together and turn out onto a floured surface. Knead just 6-8 times, you may have to add a few TBSP of flour. Cut out, place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet or in a iron skillet. Let rest 15 minutes, bake at 425 for 15 minutes. These biscuits stay soft in a covered bowl for days. They’re so good. Love you beautiful lady. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

      Equal parts flour and fat, brown to desired color (the browner the better for me), and liquid--water, broth, etc. Not crazy about milk gravy. Sawmill gravy, where I come from, is what I make with water. I could do this when I was maybe 10, but I started young and have now been cooking for eleventy-nine years.

  • @Sarah-zg5qs
    @Sarah-zg5qs 2 года назад +34

    To Pam in Overland Kansas: Remember it's equal parts flour to fat and 2 cups of whatever liquid or broth you are using. 2 TBSP fat, 2 TBSP flour, cook the flour until it becomes a light brown, then add 2 cups liquid., whether it's milk, water, broth [chicken, beef, pork ] stir it and let it come to a boil then cook it for about 2=3 minutes. Written Instructions is sometimes better than verbal because you have something to reference.

  • @donna5370
    @donna5370 2 года назад +5

    The best way to make gravy is fry or bake the meat you plan to eat in oil and salted butter and when you take the meat out to rest, drain off most of the fat into a metal tin to keep while keeping about 1 to 2 tablespoons in the pan, put the pan on the stove on med high heat then add any flour you have to the pan and stir with a whisk like Paula to get the lumps out and do this for about 3 -5 minutes to cook the flour taste out. Then if you have any vegetables cooking on the stove at the same time use the vegetable water to add to your flour and grease in the pan stirring it constantly while continuing to add the vegetable water/ stock to the pan and stirring until you get the consistency thin or thick gravy you want. I also add homemade or liquid boxed chicken stock if I want a chicken gravy or beef stock if I want a beef gravy. This is the basic gravies and then you can experiment with different spices and herbs to get all kinds of gravy. I don't add milk to my gravies. I only use milk in my sauces like white sauce, cheese sauce, herb sauce, mushroom, peppercorn sauce or curry sauces.
    The only difference between gravy and sauce is with a sauce you start with a roux which is butter melted in a pan and add enough flour then stir to make a golden thick paste then slowly add milk, salt, white pepper so it shows no black specks, cheese if you want cheese sauce add a splash of white wine if desired.
    I hope this helps someone

      Try using the cornstarch method.
      Fry meat in a pan. Then remove most of it with the drippings and set aside. (We use turkey sausage, so it doesn't have a lot of fat.) Then in the same pan mix half milk half milk made with full fat powdered milk (Nido it's cheaper and has a great flavor in cooked things or you can make it with all Nido.) whisk in cornstarch with with the cold milk and add. Use salt pepper and poultry seasoning or sage, bring to boil and thicken. Add a dash of MSG and a few fresh coffee grounds (like a teaspoon) or a few tablespoons of black coffee. Simmer until thick stirring constantly. Then add meat back to the gravy and salt and pepper to taste.
      Works every time. If you use a fatty meat, you may only need a tablespoon or so of drippings, or if you don't have enough fat, add a tablespoon of butter or browned butter.
      I worked on this method for a few months before I figured it out. It's based off the Mc Donald's copy cat, but without pork or too much hassle. The MSG can be left out if you can't find it. I also find mixing in a tablespoon of coffee creamer gives it a very silky mouth feel. I don't measure too much because I cook for a family of 8 most times when I make this. So it is for one pound of meat, but just use your liquids and cornstarch instructions to decide how many cups of gravy you want. The only time I screwed this up, I added too much milk powder and not enough water.

    Some Pro tips for gravy. 1 - Using Juices from any roast. Pour them into a skillet and reduce the juices until there is a strong flavor. Make a Slurry ( 2 parts cold water to 1 part flour or cornstarch.) Remove the skillet from the heat and boiling stops, before adding the slurry. Then whisk in. 2 - Flour will get thicker as you cook it in the liquid, Cornstarch will begin to loose it's thickening the longer you cook it. 3 - Quick gravy - Melt 1 cup of butter and add 1 cup of flour. Cook until small bubbles cover the bottom of the pan, plus 1 minute. let it cool and scrape into a container and store in the fridge. This can now be added to any hot liquid or broth to make gravy. 4 - Frying minced onions, garlic and/or mushrooms in your fat, before adding the flour, can give your gravy a flavor boost. (Fresh Herbs can be added after liquid,, because most will be become bitter over a direct heat. A pinch of dried herbs goes a long way.)

    Use butter if you don't have any type of fat (bacon, pork, chicken fat) and it always helps to use hot liquids to prevent lumping. I've used chicken and beef base from Gordon Food Services for years and years...really good soup bases, similar to Better than bouillon, but not nearly as salty.

      Better than bullion roasted chicken flavor. ( they sell several different flavors) The other that she used to darken it was probably Kitchen Bouquet browning and season sauce. These should be found in the seasoning area at grocery stores. I think she also used a beef base and the better than bullion also sells a beef flavor in that.

Make me some chicken broth with the hot water and add it a little at a time as i Stir it. Then when I have a thick paste add some milk., till it's the proper thickness. Add a little onion and garlic powder and I am done!!!

    • @awalkthroughtorah6897
      @awalkthroughtorah6897 2 года назад

      I actually use cornstarch instead and either beef bacon or turkey sausage. (Just a little beef bacon, like one piece can make a good batch) then whole fat powdered milk. (Still a great flavor, but less than regular milk.) Adding a spoonful of coffee creamer can give it that far feeling without the actual fat. I honestly use a pound of turkey sausage for gravy for 8. Add extra sage and a little msg and you don't miss the flour gravy. It's smooth. And the Nido powdered milk is great in cooked things. It really makes lovely cheese sauce as well without butter. The dried milk gives it a bit of a kick that the fat free powdered milk (american style) is missing. Nido is available at Walmart and is a Mexican product. My family absolutely loves it.

    Also please put a folded washcloth under her bowls when she stirs or uses the mixer. In other videos the sound of the bowl rattling against the counter sounds badly too. A lot of comments on that also in other videos..
