Recipe: Smooth and Easy Gravy with Variations (using corn starch)

Toppings - Sauces and Gravies
SMOOTH AND EASY GRAVY

"With or without a roast, in or out of the microwave, corn starch makes the best gravy ever. For fat-free gravy, omit the drippings or margarine."

2 Tbsp fat drippings or Mazola margarine
1 3/4 cups broth or water
2 Tbsp Argo or Kingsford's corn starch
1/4 cup cold water
Desired seasonings

Remove all but 2 Tbsp fat drippings from roasting pan. Stir in broth or water. Cook over medium heat, stirring to loosen browned bits. Remove from heat.

Stir corn starch and water until smooth; stir into pan. Add seasonings. Stirring constantly, bring to boil over medium heat; boil 1 minute.

VARIATIONS:

HERBED CHICKEN GRAVY:
Prepare as directed using chicken broth. Stir in 1 Tbsp chopped parsley and 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning.

ONION AND MUSHROOM GRAVY:
Add 1 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms to fat drippings in pan; cook, stirring until tender. Continue as directed using broth.

"NO ROAST" (SAUCEPAN) GRAVY:
In 2-quart saucepan heat 1 can (13 3/4 to 14 1/2 oz) beef or chicken broth. In small bowl stir 1/4 cup water and 2 Tbsp corn starch until smooth; stir into saucepan. If desired, add 1 to 2 Tbsp Mazola margarine and 1/4 tsp dried thyme or poultry seasoning. Stirring constantly, bring to boil over medium heat; boil 1 minute.

MICROWAVE GRAVY:
In 1 1/2-quart microwavable bowl stir 2 Tbsp corn starch and 2 cups cool broth or water until smooth. Season to taste. Microwave on High (100%), stirring twice, 7 to 9 minutes or until mixture boils; boil 1 minute. Remove from microwave. Stir in 2 Tbsp fat drippings.
