Gravy ??

The low carb baking mix sounds like it would be expensive, I think you'd have to be on an ultra low carb diet to justify using it instead of a small teaspoon of ordinary flour. ( 1tsp flour = approx 3.5g of carb)
 
I'll stick with Bisto! Quick and easy.

Where do you get yours? they don't ship to the UK!!
Apart from that it's high in sodium and not exactly low in carbs. You can use a nut flour (almond, coconut etc) to thicken sauces, or Xanthan gum. Cornflour or arrowroot has twice the thickening power of flour so you use less. Or of course you could just reduce the stock/pan juices and add a little butter to thicken naturally.
I am sorry but Bisto is so much rubbish, no vitamins and it's not exactly low in carbs or salt.
 
Yup. I find Bisto far too salty. I'm a cornflour man, but in also with Vic on the butter, it thickens and gives the gravy a lovely sheen. LCHF.
 
For how much I put on my dinner the carbs are hardly relevant, its not as though I drink pints of it!
 
Maybe it's something to mess about with.

I like the butter idea, Sunday dinner is not right without gravy.
 
For some real flavour add Worcester sauce and balsamic vinegar and reduce.
 
I'm with Stitch on the quick and easy route but we use the Knorr gravy pots instead off Bisto x

Now your talking !! I was chuffed when I found out that Steak was ok,

Gravy will top it off nicely.

Not all bland c**p for us is it ??

I've never tried this method with butter but will. I learn something new every day on here!
