Jeanne Bices Amazing Gravy Recipes

AMAZING GRAVY

Steps:

• In a medium size saucepan, heat the broth until hot, but not boiling.
• Place the flour in a small bowl, and ladle in enough hot broth to dissolve the flour (3/4 cup or so). Use a small whisk until smooth, then pour it back into the hot broth. Whisk the broth as your pour.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until lightly thickened.
• Add salt and pepper, for desired.

ONE-POT BISCUITS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the gravy: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large ovenproof pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until the sausage is well browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onion and celery and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
• Increase the heat to high and stir in the broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Cook until the broth is almost entirely evaporated.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. When melted, sprinkle the flour over the surface of the pot and cook, stirring constantly, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the milk and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Once the mixture simmers it should noticeably thicken. Stir in the chives and season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and cover the pot.
• For the biscuit topping: Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne together in a medium bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the center of the ingredients and add the buttermilk and egg. Whisk the mixture slightly with a fork, then mix it into the flour mixture until evenly combined.
• Remove the lid from the pot and crumble the biscuit mixture evenly over the surface. Sprinkle with the cheese if using. Bake until the sauce is bubbling and the biscuits are set, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
