How do you make gravy without drippings?

Answer 1

The grocery store has some gravy packets that are actually very good.

Answer 2

Without drippings the gravy will be more like a white sauce. Just heat oil as you would the drippings, add flour, stir and then add milk. I personally just use the mixes they now have for gravy if I don't have drippings. GOOD LUCK

Answer 3

They sell the powder mixes & the gravy in the jar or you can make the gravy with oil or butter instead of drippings, but then it is more a white sauce like you would put on scalloped potatoes.

Answer 4

I like a dry packet called Serva Gravy, I even use this to stretch gravy made by drippings.

Answer 5

You can use boullion cubes or stock as a base. Also there are some packets at the supermarket which aren't too bad. "Gravy Master" helps a lot. It won't tastes as good without drippings though! :)

Answer 6

To make a gravy without drippings:
Use boulion cubes, I prefer Knorr products, you use one cube for every 8 oz. of water, boil the water and cubes, if you want you can add onions or mushrooms and green pepers ( if you are going to add green peppers or onions, saute them first to soften them and then add to boil).
Use what ever flavor boulion you need, ie. chicken, beef, or vegetable
After boulion is dissolved, thicken the gravy with either corn starch, flour, or wondra. I think wondra is the best, it has directions on the cannister for thickening.
If using corn starch or flour- put 2 table spoons in a glass, add COLD water, about 1/2 cup, mix very well until starch has dissolved, if there are clumps of starch add just a little COLD water & mix til dissolved, then while stirring boiling stock, slowly add mixture while stirring , it will begin to thicken, you may need to repeat this process until you get desired consistency, if you use flour you may have to cook gravy a little longer to cook off flour taste. I recommend Wondra, it is easiest, it can be found in the grocers isle with flour and baking needs.
Bon appetite !

Answer 7

If you're making gravy for poultry, look for the packet of giblets & stuff inside the cavity. You can use this to make giblet gravy.

Or, if you're really in a hurry, McCormick's makes packaged gravy mixes. You can buy them in the supermarket. I've tried most & with a little 'doctoring' they don't taste too bad.

Answer 8

Do you know how to make a roux? Start there, dilute it a little more and flavor with your favorite seasonings; basically the same as using drippings but you use milk and butter instead.

Answer 9

just make the gravy, and dont put drippings in it.

Answer 10

You can use instant gravy granules or add a stock cube to the meat juices add some water and cornflour to thicken up
