SpicenEasy's Perfect Silky Gravy

• Prep Time: 2 minutes

• Cook Time: 5 minutes

• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp SpicenEasy Cornflour

• 2 tbsp cold water

• 2 cups beef, chicken, or vegetable stock

• Pan drippings from roast meat (optional, but recommended)

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Make a Slurry: In a small bowl or jug, mix the cornflour with the cold water until you have a completely smooth, thin paste. This is the key to preventing lumps!

2. Heat Liquid: Pour the stock (and pan drippings, if using) into a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

3. Thicken the Gravy: While whisking the simmering stock continuously, slowly pour in the cornflour slurry.

4. Simmer: Continue to whisk for 1-2 minutes as the gravy thickens and comes back to a simmer. It will become glossy and smooth.

5. Season and Serve: Season with salt and plenty of black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately with your favourite roast.

Chef's Tip: Always mix cornflour with a cold liquid first to create a slurry before adding it to hot liquid – this is the golden rule for lump-free results! For a richer flavour, you can sauté a tablespoon of finely chopped onion in the pan before adding the stock. If your gravy becomes too thick, simply thin it out with a little more stock or water.
