I was planning on pre-making the gravy for Christmas this year as I'm cooking both lunch and dinner this year and don't want to be overrun with things to do.
I came across Jamie Olivers Get-Ahead Gravy when I was watching his Christmas special the other night. Get-Ahead Gravy It sounds delicious, but has a lot of ingredients and I would hate to go to the effort and expense of making a double batch and then discovering it's not all its cracked up to be. So has anyone tried and/or made this gravy? Is it worth the effort to make it? Also I'd have to make it gluten free so will have to ditch the normal flour. Will corn flour work or should I use something else? Thanks! |

I haven't made it sorry, but it sounds tasty! Corn flour would be fine though, I often use it in lieu of plain flour in sauces and gravies.

I am getting lazy with the cooking of Christmas Dinner and I always made gravy from the pan left-over juices, and I now find that I like packet gravy and half the trouble.

Cornflour is finely ground wheat flour, so don't use that! You can get gluten-free cornflour, or you could try a different thickener that is gluten free.

Cornflour is the best, it doesn't make lumps if you stir frequently.

I've been cooking for mum (who has coeliac disease) for 12 years now, so I know which flours etc I can and can't use. I was more worried that cornflour would thicken it too quickly compared to normal flour. |

If you want it to thicken slower, mix the cornflour with some water in a cup. I do this when making bechamel sauce.
