C&T Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hi, Have a person coming to dinner that can't eat gluten. So think I am OK with everything... Except Gravy? Believe I can't use gravy granuals (and why would I want to anyway!!) but I always use flour to thicken any sauce - what can I use instead? Or do I just have to leave it very runny!! Guessing also there is no alternative to Yorkshires? Or does anyone know if the "fake" flour stuff would work for this...? Many thanks for any advice.

Lesley Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 You could use cornflour for your gravy........and gluten free flour makes a reasonable yorkshire pud, a bit heavy but perfectly acceptable. We make a small batch of gluten free ones and freeze them. We just take a couple out when we need them. You need to add some baking powder to the mix - just make sure it is one that is suitable, some of them aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&T Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Corn Flour! Didn't realise that was OK. Thank you! And Baking powder in with gluten free flour - I will give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I just came back to say that you can find a gluten free gravy mix in wholefood shops or www.goodnessdirect.co.uk I'm sure cornflour is OK - I'd better check.......I may be killing my MIL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Try Pure Organics Gravy Powder - they sell it in Sainsuburys. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Bisto Best is gluten free, the one in the jar rather than the one in the red carton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
