However, you can bring your sauce to the right consistency with various methods. If your sauce is not flavored enough, add a little more broth, a pinch of salt or some wine. If it is too thick, add liquid. Add the broth or broth to the sauce. If it is too thin (fluid); add flour, starch or vegetables.

How To Thicken Gravy?

Use Flour. For 1 cup of broth, use 2 tablespoons of flour to thicken the sauce. When adding the flour, mix it with water or add it to the broth after sifting. Mix until the sauce has the desired consistency.

Use Corn Starch. It is a gluten free sauce thickener. Like flour, cornstarch helps to thicken the sauce. For 1 cup of broth, use 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. When adding starch to the sauce, mix it with water first. Or, after sifting the starch, mix it with the broth.

Should Flour or Cornstarch Be Used To Make Sauce?

What's the difference between using cornstarch or flour to make your gravy? You can add flour or cornstarch to add consistency to gravy sauce. Starch has a greater thickening effect than wheat flour. For this reason, the ratio of cornstarch is less than flour.
