FAQs

Can you use water instead of milk for gravy? ›

Alternative ingredients: Instead of milk, you can use other liquids like chicken or beef broth, heavy cream, or even water to make the gravy. Roux base: A roux base, made from melted butter and flour, is the foundation for the gravy. This base will thicken the liquid and create the desired consistency.

This gravy recipe is best with a soy milk because of its natural flavor profile. If you don't use or have soy milk, you can always opt for oat milk or almond milk, just make sure it is unsweetened. Smother this gravy over Country Fried Cauliflower Steaks or biscuits!

You cannot make gravy with just water and flour. What you will get is a slurry, not gravy. To make gravy you mix equal parts of oil (or butter) and flour. Whisk them together until you have a smooth roux. Cook over medium low heat, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes.

Oat milk is safe for people with dairy and soy allergies. It's also a good choice for those who have a tree nut allergy and want to avoid dairy. But if you have celiac disease or are staying away from gluten, check the label on the milk carton (or on the oatmeal if you're making your own).

If you want your oatmilk to be thicker, similar to what you purchase in the store, you will need an added gum. Xanthan gum works great to thicken cold liquids and you don't need much for a batch.

Shake well and enjoy cold. DO NOT HEAT or it will thicken and become gelatinous in texture. It's delicious as is or added to granolas, smoothies, and baked goods!

What is white country gravy made of? ›

The basic recipe for white gravy consists of butter, flour, milk, salt, and pepper. Some people use bacon or sausage fat in place of butter, and others further season the gravy beyond salt and pepper.

In an absolute pinch, water can sometimes be used as a substitute in a recipe that calls for milk…but you might experience some changes in flavor and texture. (Think: Less creamy, less fluffy and less rich.)

Water can be used in most recipes that call for milk. According to the USDA, 88 percent of the volume of milk is water. No milk? No problem, just use one of the ten substitutes for milk in your baking and cooking at home.

You can make a roux and add water to it, but what you'll get won't be bechamel. It will be pretty flavorless and it won't have a great texture. If you don't want to use dairy you can make a velouté instead. It's essentially the same process, but instead of using milk you use either chicken, veal, or fish stock.

If your gravy is too thick, that just means it contains a bit too much flour. Thin it with additional stock; you could use water instead, but then you'd be watering down the flavor.
