How to Make Homemade Au Jus

In a blender or food processor, combine 1 cup of Knorr onion bouillon granules (equivalent to approximately 3-4 bouillon cubes, depending on size) and ½ cup all-purpose flour.
Blend until a fine, even powder is achieved.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight jar. Label with the recipe instructions and store in a cool, dry place.
To prepare one serving: In a small saucepan, whisk together 2 ¼ teaspoons of the au jus mix with 1 cup of cold water.
Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, whisking constantly, until it comes to a boil and thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
Remove from heat. Stir in 2-3 drops of Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce (or to taste) and 1 tablespoon of butter (optional, for added richness).
Serve immediately with your favorite dishes.
