Steps
1
Done
|
When Baking a Turkey, or Chicken, use the Brown Drippings from the Pan. (it Is Also One of the Ways I Can Tell If It Is Done). the Quantities May Be Different If You Have Less Drippings, but Proportions Are the Same. |
2
Done
|
Fill a Large Measuring Cup With Water, and Set It Aside. |
3
Done
|
Put the Pan on the Stove and Turn the Burner to Medium to Get Rid of Any Water, as It Is the Fat and Flour That Actually Make the Roux. |
4
Done
|
After the Water Is Gone, Add an Amount of Flour About Equal to the Fat, Stirring Constantly, and Turning Down the Heat If Needed. |
5
Done
|
Cook Enough to Get Rid of the Raw Taste, but Don't Let It Get Too Hard or Burn. I Turn Down the Heat to Get More Control of This. After It Seems Done, (just a Few Minutes) Slowly Add the Water Stirring Constantly, Using Enough Water to Make a Medium Consistency (thick Gravies Tend to Be More Paste Like, and I Don't Like Thin Either!). |
6
Done
|
This Needs to Be Cooked For at Least 10 Minutes to Insure No Raw Flavor. I Make Sure I Have Plenty of Water at My Fingertips, So That It Does not Quickly Become Gummy and Gooey. |
7
Done
|
For Beef, the Same Method, Use the Pan Drippings. |
8
Done
|
For Something With No Fat, You Can Use Butter, Flour and, Water. |
9
Done
|
to Make a Brown Roux (for Brown Sauce) Follow the Same Instructions, but Cook Until the Butter and Flour Become a Medium Brown. |
10
Done
|
a White Roux (for White Sauce), Stop Cooking It as Soon as It Turns from White to a Hint of a Golden Color. I Usually Use Milk, Instead of Water, in a White Sauce. |
