This is a casual, quick, gravy to help dress up weekday meals. Use it when you don't have the makings for gravy, or to top mashed potatoes or rice, or even to dress up a store-bought roast chicken.
Feel free to vary quantities as desired. Add more flour for a thicker gravy, or more broth to thin it out. Or try using vegetable broth for a different taste.
Stir all ingredients together in a large pyrex bowl or measuring cup and microwave for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let stand until sauce thickens.
Add a pinch of sage to chicken gravy, or a spoon or so of ketchup to beef gravy or tomato sauce for pork gravy.
Cooks Note: If you are able to obtain modified food starch (a form of corn, potato or other vegetable starch which has been precooked) available from restaurant supply stores, this may be substituted for the Wondra flour with good success. Gravies made using modified food starch are cooked in a much shorter period of time than it takes to cook out the raw "floury" taste obtained from using wheat flour when making sauces or gravies.
