To prepare, you typically combine the dry gravy mix with water or milk in a saucepan. Whisking is important to ensure a smooth consistency and prevent lumps from forming. The mixture is then heated over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency. Some cooks may choose to add a bit of butter or a pinch of black pepper for extra flavor. It is ready to serve once it has reached a smooth, pourable texture.
