Notes:

Whisk the gravy mix gradually with cold water to ensure a completely smooth paste before adding the remaining water and heating.

Maintain a constant whisking motion while heating the mixture on the hob to prevent any lumps from forming.

Take care not to let the gravy come to a rolling boil while thickening on the heat.

Adjust the consistency by gently simmering until the gravy reaches your preferred velvety thickness.

Serve piping hot poured generously over freshly cooked chips or your favourite pub-style dishes.

Mix Base
Place the gravy mix into a saucepan, add an initial portion of cold water, and whisk until blended into a smooth paste.

Add Remaining Water
Pour in the rest of the cold water while continuing to whisk until fully incorporated.

Heat Gravy
Place the saucepan on the hob over medium heat and heat until thick, whisking constantly.

Simmer
Maintain constant whisking without bringing the mixture to a boil until the gravy achieves a rich, smooth consistency.

Serve
Remove from the heat and pour hot gravy generously over freshly cooked chips.
