Braune einbrenne (brown gravy)

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
60 grams Fat (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons Flour
½ litre Water or instant broth (2 cups plus 2 Tbsp)
Bay leaf

Directions

Make a dark roux of the flour and fat, then add liquid and bring to a boil. Only then add 'inlays' (cooked spaetzle, pasta, dumplings, vegetables, etc.)

For example: SPATZEN IN BRAUNER BRUEHE (SPAETZLE IN BROWN GRAVY): Fix 'Kaesspatzen' (cheese spaetzle - recipe separately), and put into brown gravy. Serve with green salad [lettuce].

Serves 4.
