Ingredients

  • 150 g flour (1 cup / 5 oz)
  • 50 g chicken bouillon powder (aka granules. 4 tablespoons / 1.5 oz)
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper (ground)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon marjoram (ground)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • Store in a sealed container, jar or bag in a cool, dark place.

Nutrition

Serving: 3g | Calories: 151kcal | Carbohydrates: 33g | Protein: 6g | Sodium: 1139mg | Fiber: 2g | Sugar: 1g

Usage notes

To use, mix 2 ½ tablespoons (25 g / 1 oz) with 250 ml (1 cup / 8 oz) of cold water. Whisk.

Zap in microwave for 1 minute; whisk; zap for another 2 minutes, then whisk again. If you want it a bit thicker still, then zap for a further minute or two. (Or, cook in saucepan on stove top until desired thickness.)

Makes ¾ cup / 175 ml / 6 oz of gravy.

The gravy will come out quite light. (Though how light may depend on the bouillon powder you use.) If you want it a bit darker, add a few drops of gravy darkener such as Kitchen Bouquet when you go to add the water to mix it up.

Recipe notes

For flour, use “regular flour”. That would be all-purpose in Canada or the US; plain flour in the UK. Instant Flour (aka sauce flour, instant blending flour, etc) can be a bit nicer in this as it reduces the possibility of lumps to chase out, but may not be worth the extra cost.

Gluten-free option: use gluten-free flour, or sweet rice flour

If you don’t have all the seasonings suggested, feel free to omit or try a substitute.

Once you’ve tried this and decided whether you like it or not, you may wish to double or triple the dry mix batch sizes.

    I wanted to make a chicken and gravy recipe but it called for two packets of chicken gravy mix. I do not buy prepackaged seasoning so I set out to make my own and came upon this homemade mix. I followed the recipe to the letter and couldn’t be more happy with the turnout! It has great flavor and isn’t overly runny. It’s definitely cheaper and better than store bought. It will now be a permanent addition to my other go-to homemade mixes and seasonings.

What's New in Home Canning

What's New in Home Canning

Quote of the day

“The importance of a well-planned canning program cannot be emphasized too strongly. Survey after survey has shown us that home canning as part of a wise home-production program can make the difference between diets that are poor — and diets that are good, nutritionally. Home-produced, home-canned food helps provide better diets with fewer food dollars.”

— Dr Louise Stanley, USDA Radio Homemakers Chat. 22 August 1941.
