Aunt Bevs Cinnamon Gravy Recipes

QUICK AND EASY GRAVY FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• In a wide skillet with sides, melt butter over medium heat. When melted and sizzling, whisk in the flour. Whisk until the flour and butter turn into a smooth paste and look medium blonde in color; about 1 minute. It smells toasty, like browned butter.
• Pour in stock and whisk until smooth. Bring the gravy to a low simmer. As it simmers, it thickens and becomes glossy.
• Whisk in the herbs and mushroom powder then cook at a low simmer for a minute or two. Remove from the heat then stir in half and half or cream (optional).
• Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and black pepper (we like a generous amount of pepper).
• Substitute some or all the butter with fat left in the pan from roasting. If there are juices left in the pan, strain them then swap all or some of the stock for the pan juices. Pan drippings and juices will be well seasoned compared to the stock. When seasoning, taste the gravy first then adjust with more salt and/or pepper. If you used a stove-top safe pan such as a Dutch oven or stainless steel pan for roasting, there is no need for the skillet. Make the gravy directly in the roasting pan.

GRAMMIE BEA'S OLD FASHIONED CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Let the pie crust sit out for 1/2 hours if using the unroll and bake crusts, so they get soft enough to roll up without the crust cracking. (Make homemade pie crust if you are making your own. Roll out thin, just as you would to make a pie crust).
• Melt butter in the microwave for 20 seconds, and brush onto top of pie crusts.
• Mix cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle on top of the butter.
• Roll up crust dough jelly roll style, making into a long log. Crimp the edge of the pie crust so it holds together. (See picture).
• Using a sharp knife cut dough into 3/4" pieces, and place cinnamon side down on a greased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 20-22 minutes until a light golden brown. Take out of oven and let cool for a few minutes, then take off sheet, so they don't stick, and let cool.
• Store in plastic container or Zip-Lock baggie, that is if you have any left!
