Gravy Out Of Thin Air

I was at a loss about what I was going to do for a gravy to drizzle over the Kopytka (Polish Dumplings) that were scheduled to accompany our New Year’s Eve dinner. Carolyn rooted around to find a package of demi-glace that she remembered was hiding in the cupboard. Hmm . . . it looked more promising than any other option. It made quite a nice gravy.

.7 oz. Jus de Poulet Lie Gold – Classic Roasted Chicken Demi-Glace
4 tablespoons butter
1-1/2 cups water
3 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons water
Salt – to taste

I added 4 tablespoons of butter, 1-1/2 cups of water, and the demi-glace to a pan. Heat and whisk over a medium heat until the ingredients are well combined. Combine flour and 2 tablespoons cold water in a small glass and mix thoroughly. Add to the pan and whisk until the gravy thickens. Serve in a hot gravy dish. Or drink directly from the pan.
