THIS IS THE PERFECT GRAVY by Ann Criswell For each 2 cups
gravy desired, use 3 tablespoons fat, 3 tablespoons flour and 2 cups of
liquid (meat juices or broth, vegetable juice, bouillon and/or water).
Measure fat into saucepan. Over low heat, blend in flour; cook until
bubbly, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. If desired, brown fat and
flour slightly to give more color and flavor. Remove pan from heat. Stir
in liquid and whisk constantly until blended with fat-flour mixture. Add
chopped giblets. Summer gently about 5 minutes. Correct the salt and
pepper to taste. Makes 8-1/2 cup servings.
