    Homemade Dairy-Free Gravy Mix made Easy, Cheap, and Versatile

    0
    By Sarah Hatfield on October 30, 2020 Dairy-Free Recipes, Sarah's Recipes, Sauces

    Store-bought gravy often contains dairy, so I usually make my own. It’s as easy as flour, broth, salt, and pepper. But sometimes I want gravy with more flavor, or I need a quick and portable option that only requires the addition of water. This dairy-free gravy mix is my solution. It’s just like the packets you can buy at the store, but it’s cheaper, uses simple pantry ingredients, an is made without any milk or additives.

    To Grandmother’s House Easy Dairy-Free Gravy Mix

    This dairy-free gravy mix is a variation of a brown gravy recipe my sister makes with beef bouillon–usually to go with venison. I looked at several gravy mix recipes online and adapted it based on those. It’s great for weeknights, and if you’re travelling somewhere where the gravy being served has dairy, such as a relative’s house for Thanksgiving.

    My sister likes the gravy thin with just 1 Tablespoon of mix added per cup. I like 2 Tablespoons per cup, which makes a thicker, stronger-flavored gravy. Most of the recipes I researched use 2 Tablespoons per cup.

    I often make this as chicken gravy, but it can easily be made vegan with the use of vegan bouillon. I really like Orrington Farms Bouillons. They don’t use MSG, are gluten free and they use sea salt. I was noticing on their site that they also offer vegan beef and vegan chicken options (and vegan ham!). I bet those would be good in this.

    I use 2 tablespoons of this mix per cup of water for a bolder, thicker gravy. But if you want a lighter, thinner gravy, use just 1 tablespoon.

    Ingredients
    Gravy Mix
    • ½ cup non-GMO cornstarch
