Homemade Gravy
Adding a creamy and thicker texture to your soups, stews, gravies and sauces used to be a real challenge in gluten-free cooking. So we designed our Mehl’s Gluten-Free Premium Flour to not only bake beautiful gluten-free baked goods, but to add texture and thickening to sauces soups and gravies without adding any undesired tastes.
