How to Make Mushroom Gravy

  1. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until golden brown.
  2. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup of chopped onions.
  3. Sauté until the mushrooms and onions are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add 1/4 cup of dry white wine (optional).
  5. Cook for 30 seconds to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
  6. In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
  7. Gradually whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup of cold water until the mixture is smooth and reaches the 1-cup line. This forms the slurry.
  8. Gradually pour the flour slurry into the mushroom mixture, stirring constantly.
  9. Add an additional 1/2 cup of water to the pot, stirring continuously.
  10. Bring the gravy to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  11. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, allowing the gravy to thicken slightly.
  12. Remove from heat and serve immediately or allow to cool. The gravy will thicken further as it cools.
  13. Uses: Use this versatile mushroom gravy to enhance a variety of dishes, including meat dishes, mashed potatoes, biscuits, or roasted vegetables.
