Blender Gravy

NOTE: This recipe is intended to accompany any pan fried meat recipe that you have just prepared.

Remove the meat to a hot platter. Leaving the crusty bits of meat in the pan, pour the meat juices and fat into a large measuring cup. Skim off the fat, reserving 3 Tablespoons.

Add water, milk, or giblet broth to the meat juices to equal 2 cups of liquid and then add the liquid and flour in to a blender container, blending until the liquid is smooth.

Return the blended gravy to the pan and cook the mixture quickly, stirring constantly, until the gravy is thicken and bubbly (scrape the bottom of the pan to get the crusty bits, if desired).

Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper. If desired, add a dash of dried thyme leaves, crushed, and a few drops of Kitchen Bouquet for color.
