Notes
- Whisk continuously during cooking to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth gravy consistency.
- Cook onions until translucent to develop a richer, more developed flavor base.
- For added texture, consider adding diced mushrooms or minced celery into the gravy.
- To introduce a smoky note, a pinch of smoked paprika can be stirred in during seasoning.
