HOW TO MAKE BROWN GRAVY

This is the basis of many sauces and gravies. It is easier to make large quantities of this. Like maybe 2-3 cups of flour. It will keep forever in a glass jar.
It colors the gravy mixes so you do not have to buy store gravies.
Put the amount of flour in a large heavy skillet. Over very low heat and a wooden cooking spoon keep stirring and scapping bottom of pan so the flour does not stick.
In a few minutes the flour will start to brown. Keep stirring faster so the flour does not burn. Do not get it too dark because it gets much darker in the gravy. DO NOT TURN UP HEAT IF IT SEEMS NOT TO BROWN BECAUSE AFTER IT GETS STARTED IT BROWNS VERY FAST.
