Gravy is a mixture of water, fat, flour, and seasonings. The fat and flour form a roux, which thickens the liquid (water or broth) to create the smooth texture of gravy. Seasonings are added for flavor.

Ted mixed flour into water until he had a suspension just right for making gravy. When Ted burned the gravy, his wife gave him a suspension order to stop making gravy. When Ted could no longer make gravy, he tried a new hobby of wirewalking, balancing himself on a suspension of wires.
No. Flour does not dissolve with water. So they do not form a solution.
A suitable flour substitute for gravy is cornstarch. Cornstarch is a gluten-free option that can be used to thicken gravy in a similar way to flour. To use cornstarch as a substitute, you typically need to mix it with cold water to create a slurry before adding it to the gravy. It is important to note that cornstarch has a higher thickening power than flour, so you will need to use less of it to achieve the desired consistency.
To thicken gravy in a slow cooker, you can mix cornstarch or flour with water and stir it into the gravy. Let it cook for a bit longer to thicken.
To dissolve flour in a liquid you will want to use a wisk. This will break apart the little bubbles and balls that flour forms when it is placed with a liquid like water or eggs.
To make a delicious gravy without using flour, you can use cornstarch or arrowroot powder as a thickening agent instead. Mix either of these with cold water before adding them to your gravy to prevent lumps.
To thicken gravy without flour, you can use cornstarch or arrowroot powder as a substitute. Mix either of these with a small amount of cold water to create a slurry, then gradually stir it into the gravy until it reaches your desired thickness.
Flour is made up of proteins and starches that do not easily dissolve in water. When flour is mixed with water, the proteins and starches form a sticky mixture due to the hydration of the proteins and the swelling of starch granules, rather than dissolving like a soluble substance.
If the mixture of flour and water/broth is cooked to quickly, or with a high heat, the mixture will result in "paste" or "lumps". The lumps are flour "balls" that have not absorbed any water to cook properly. If your gravy becomes paste, then you need a little more water for your mixture. Gravy needs to be cooked at a low/mid heat to ensure a good evenly cooked mixture. After the flour and water have started cooking, let the mixture continue to proceed to a light boil. When the gravy is boiling, continue to stir for 3 minutes. This will help ensure the flour is absorbed and this will also help the taste. If gravy is not cooked to a boil, then there is a chance your gravy could taste like flour. I hope this helps for all your gravy needs.. Enjoy!! TX T... where it is all about meat, taters n gravy!!
Substances that dissolve in water are generally crystalline constructs of molecules that are pulled apart by the strong hydrogen bonding forces held by water. Flour is made from ground wheat, and as such cannot dissolve, as such.
