meat is cooked, remove from the roasting tin, cover and keep
warm. Pour off all but 2-3 tablespoons of the meat juices and
heat on the hob. Stir in 2 tablespoons of plane white flour and
cook for 2 minutes, stirring the sediment that is left in the
tin into the gravy.
Add seasoning to taste and,
if liked, a little port, wine or redcurrant jelly. Gravy

then draw off the heat and stir in 300 ml of stock of your choice.
Return to the heat and cook, stirring until thickened. |
