Notes

If you are using a cubed beef bouillon, use the back of a spoon to break it apart.

How do I use arrowroot or cornstarch? Simply use 2-3 tablespoons in replace of the flour. Note that using either of these will change the color and texture of your gravy slightly. Not in a bad way, just a little different.
