Step 1

Whisk together the water and 7 simple ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl, and place in the microwave for about 2-minutes, stirring at the halfway mark.

Step 2

One of the ingredients needs to be a thickener of some sort, and you can use flour, cornstarch, or arrowroot powder. Personally, I like to use arrowroot powder because it doesn’t clump nearly as much and it’s so easy to use, but you can use any type preferred.

Step 3

The gravy will thicken as it heats. If it doesn’t get as thick as you would like, add 30 seconds to the microwave time. And, if it gets too thick, add a tablespoon of water and whisk together well.

Step 4

It is really easy to adjust to the consistency desired. Just remember that it will continue to thicken for up to about one minute after cooking.
