White Gravy
I made some deer steak fingers last night and they turned out nice, but I didn't have much luck with the gravy. I'm actually a fair cook, but for some reason, I just can't seem to make gravy without the lumps?
Any suggestions?

RE: White Gravy
First you mak a rue (sp) which means you melt some butter, marg. oil or fat skimmed off the top of say Your turkey or chicken. Any way usually equal parts flour to fat. Simmer on low heat stirring constantly. The longer you cook it the darker it will get. Then add you COLD liquid or broth. No lumps, For White gravy (bechamel sauce) add milk, salt and pepper to taste.

I am familiar with the roux, and I just dip the roux directly up and add to my sauce (gravy) which is hot. This is quite convenient and does not cause lumps, so long as the flour is well incorporated into the fat.

I mix my flour in liquid prior as well, then add to boiling drippings slowly and whisk till I get the desired thickness. I have also used corn starch to thicken which works well, no need to cook long, no flavouring and never had a lump. The downside with this method is it doesn't make for great left overs. (Same method mixed prior and add to base slowly)
