Why you need to stir the gravy with small fire?

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!!

Yes, you can, and its very easy! You will make what is called a "RUEless", and all it is, is cornstarch and water. The cornstarch acts as a thickening agent, just like flour would. HOWEVER, do NOT just put the cornstarch in the liquid, the Cornstarch has too be watered down a bit before adding it to the Gravy!
