Anything Gravy

(Oma J.)

Olive oil or butter
1 medium onion
Mushrooms
Water
3 Tablespoons flour
Beef or chicken bouillon
Sour cream

In olive oil or butter sauté onion until tender about 15-20 minutes. You may also add mushrooms with/onions and sauté.

Take ¼ cup cold water in a mug and add 3 Tablespoons flour and smooth with fork until very smooth no lumps. Set Aside.

Remove onions from pan. Measure 2 cups hot water and add 2 or 3 teaspoons of beef or chicken bouillon until dissolved. Add the bouillon mix to the pan that the onions were in and slowly with a whisk stir in the flour mixture until it is smooth and thickens. It has to come to a boil before it will thicken. (If any lumps use a strainer and return to pan).

When it is as thick as you want it return the onions and or mushrooms to pan and simmer. Before serving add ¼ to ½ cup sour cream and blend with whisk slowly. Do not boil again.
