Notes
Yields about 2 cups of gravy, serving size is about 2 tablespoons.
Typically when I make homemade gravy, I create a roux by combining fat (typically butter) with a starch like cornstarch or flour, after those are combined, I add the remaining ingredients. You can do that same method here using the xanthan gum, however, I have found that adding it later in the process yields similar results. You simply have to be patient during the whisking process.
Homemade gravy typically lasts about 2 days in the fridge. If you want to use it for longer than that, you can add it to a pot again and bring it to a boil.
