Gravy recipe (tastes like KFC - but a million times better!)

Recipe video above. This recipe is how I make a seriously tasty gravy using water in 4 minutes flat. The secret is to use both chicken AND beef stock cubes. Beef adds colour and flavour oomph, whereas chicken is the base flavour. Use crumbled cubes if you can as some brands of beef powder won't give the same nice brown colour (ends up pale).

Ingredients

1 chicken stock cube / bouillon cube ((sub 2 tsp powder) (Note 1))

1 beef stock cube / bouillon cube ((sub 2 tsp powder) (Note 1))

2 1/4 cups (565ml) boiling water

60g/ 4 tbsp butter (, unsalted)

4 tbsp flour (, plain / all purpose)

1/2 tsp onion powder ((ok to omit or sub garlic powder))

1/4 tsp finely ground black pepper

Salt (, if needed)

Instructions

Step 1
Crumble cubes into boiling water, mix to dissolve.
Step 2
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add flour, onion powder and pepper. Mix into butter with a wooden spoon or whisk.
Step 4
While stirring, slowly pour in half the liquid. Once incorporated into the flour butter roux (it will thicken quickly), add remaining liquid and mix.
Step 5
Stir for 1.5 - 2 minutes until it thickens to a gravy consistency (it's quick as water is already hot). Taste, add more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 6
Serve over chops, steak, sausages, veggies, roast chicken, pork, beef, lamb. Pictured - KFC Potato and Gravy copycat!
