For a richer flavor, try using homemade stock instead of bouillon. If your gravy is too thick, whisk in a little more hot water to reach your desired consistency. Add a pinch of black pepper or a dash of Worcestershire sauce for extra depth of flavor. To avoid lumps, make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved in the cold water before adding it to the hot broth. If you don't have a microwave, you can easily make this gravy on the stovetop. Just combine the ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.

May 20, 2025My gravy turned out a little lumpy the first time, but I realized I didn't mix the cornstarch well enough. The second time was perfect!
