Ingredients

2 T. margarine

2 T. flour

1 c. cold or cool water (don’t add warm!)

1-3 t. chicken or beef bouillon or base

salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Melt margarine in a microwaveable bowl or a glass measuring cup that holds at least 2 cups. Stir in flavoring. Then stir in flour. Slowly add water to blend. Microwave on high, stirring every minute until the mixture is thickened and mixed well. Taste and add salt and pepper as desired.

Sometimes I add about 1-2 T. milk after the gravy is finished to make it a little richer. This will also thin it if it’s too thick.
