Kfc Gravy From A Mix - cooking recipe

Ingredients

GRAVY MIX
1 1/2 tablespoons dry roux (See note)
3 1/2 tablespoons flour
3 1/4 teaspoons chicken bouillon
1 1/4 teaspoons beef bouillon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon msg (optional)
TO MAKE GRAVY
2 teaspoons shortening
3 tablespoons gravy mix
1 teaspoon gravy mix
15 ounces hot water

Preparation

NOTE: You can make the dry roux yourself using recipe #417113. (This will take over an hour. So, I recommend you do it in advance.).
To make the mix, combine the seven ingredients listed and store in an airtight container until ready to use. (I like to store mine in large spice bottles.).
To make gravy, melt shortening over medium-high heat in a saucepan.
Get hot water ready. You will need it quickly after you add in the gravy mix.
Whisk in gravy mix. Don't worry if it looks lumpy right now.
Pour in water. The pot and the shortening should have gotten so hot that the water will probably sizzle, and everything will mix in nicely.
Turn down heat and whisk until gravy boils.
Boil one minute and reduce to a simmer.
Simmer for about fifteen minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
Serve.
