My Aussie mom (HomeMa) used to show me the traditional way in making gravy. It looked a bit disgusting when you witnessing the process but it indeed tasted very good! :he~:

<KFC Gravy>

ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 can Campbell's chicken broth (plus 1 can of water)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon MSG or Accent Flavor Enhancer
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. First make a roux by combining the oil with 1 1/2 tablespoons of flour in a medium saucepan over low heat. Heat the mixture for 20-30 minutes, stirring often, until it is a dark chocolate color.
2. Remove the roux from the heat, stir in the rest of the flour, and add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan; mix well.
3. Put the saucepan back over the heat, turn it up to medium and bring the gravy to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until thick.

Makes about 3 cups.
