Notes

Tips
If you have about 2 cups of pan dripping, you may skip the chicken stock. Check for salt and pepper and adjust the gravy to taste
If you don’t have plain flour then you can use cornflour also known as corn starch.
If gravy is too thin, make a small flour slurry separately and add to it, do not add plain flour directly to the gravy as it would make it lumpy. Add more water/stock or dripping to the gravy if it is too thick.
