Wondra flour is a great old school trick for gravy, especially if it's too thin and you don't want to fuss with a beurre manié. It's also a great one-step coating for cutlets!

Gravy is one of the best foods and I don't make it enough. I definitely suffer from "Thanksgiving gravy anxiety" where I am very worried that we won't have enough. So many good tips in here. <3

Also, thank you for sharing these resources for LA. It is so, so heartbreaking and just apocalyptic what's happening over there. My cousin who just evacuated told me that Feed the Streets LA is working to feed firefighters with local restaurants. They're taking donations via venmo @FTSLA. I'm not sure how it's tracked officially (I know it's important people want to see where exactly their money is going) but I figure right now it can't hurt to just help them get groceries and food to first responders.

Oh No! just any old gluten-free flour won’t do it. Much of what is out there today has gum, usually xantham, of some sort in it and that’s a recipe for gloppy, gluey gravy. Make sure your GF flour is gum free. Or use my favorite substitute in gravy, sweet rice flour. Just be sure you cook it really well or your leftover gravy will be very thin.
