Thickening Gravy with Flour and Corn Starch
Making gravy requires a lot of dishes and stove space. To prevent this from happening, use corn starch instead of flour to thicken your gravy. One cup of corn starch thickens approximately 6 cups of liquid. The thicken is essential for a gravy.
Thickening Gravy with Thickener
We are all guilty of adding too much liquid to our gravy or sauce. This problem is especially easy to make if you do not have a food mill. The last thing you want is a soggy plate of food.
When I make gravy, I look for the thickest consistency. I don’t want it to be too thin, as that would make for a very watery dish. I look for a thick consistency where I can easily see the bottom of the pan. If I’m using a heavy-handed method and I feel like I have a watery gravy, I look for the next step. I’ll heat the gravy in a separate pan or a microwave oven, which will thicken it. If that does not work, I then go to the stovetop. I heat the gravy, remove the pan from the heat, and whisk the gravy. As long as I use a long-handled spoon and constantly whisk, it will thicken without adding more liquid. If I use the blender, I’ll ensure that the lid is on and I’m at least halfway through the process.
If I don’t have the time to thicken my gravy and I want it to taste really good, I can use instant potatoes to thicken it. They are the perfect thickener! I add the instant potatoes to the sauce at the very end. Once the sauce is fully heated, I add the potatoes and it thick

Homemade Mustard
I made this mustard recipe yesterday and it was so delicious! So, you can make mustard at home too. This recipe has a flavor similar to French Dijon mustard. It’s called homemade mustard because it’s made with mustard powder, water, and salt. You can use either Dijon or regular mustard. If you choose to use regular mustard, you’ll need to dilute it with white wine vinegar. To make mustard, simply mix equal parts of mustard powder and distilled white vinegar. Stir until all the powder is dissolved. Then, add enough water to make the mixture thick enough to coat a spoon. Adjust the water until you’re able to coat the back of the spoon with mustard. You can thin out the mustard by adding a little water. This recipe is perfect for snacks or any dishes that need a tangy flavor. It’s gluten free and vegan. You can also make it into a cocktail.
