Try my recipe for home-made gravy Take a large onion and slice it then place the slices on a roasting tray and place in a hot oven and roast them until brown, then place the onions in the required amount of water you need for the gravy and add Bisto roast chicken gravy powder now i use a Electric hand blender and blitz it until the gravy is smooth and thick then right at the end add a Knob of Butter and blitz, the key is to keep tasting it until just right. P.s to make beef gravy just add Bisto Roast Beef powder. And to make gravies extra special add all the meat juices to it.
