I know that someone that needs to be gluten free wouldn't be eating it.
Honestly, I've never seen gravy that had any fat rise on it like that except for red-eye gravy, but there's no flour in that.
I've never made a gravy that doesn't allow the fat to rise. I've never even seen a home made gravy that the fat doesn't rise in. It's normal, when a liquid cools, for the fat to rise to the top.
It happens in soup too, haven't you ever noticed that when you make bone broth with a chicken?
Thanks for the clarification. I just asked my mother and she tells me that the flour would stay in the liquid part and not be in the fat. Which doesn't really make sense to me, but she's a better cook than I am. And since you're not planning on giving it to Mazy, you might be ok.
I think your mother is right, but I couldn't find anything about it. The fat, when melted over heat, is crystal clear. Thanks for that recommendation Dee . I don't think the flour comes up with the fat.
Jennie needs a bit more fat in her diet and I am going to use this fat to add it. She had a very bad time with constipation earlier this week to the point of refusing her breakfast (she's never refused a meal in her life) and passing a small rock hard poop andregurgitating her lunch (after I went back to work, I found both when I came home again).
I had to think about it for a while but I realized that I recently had switched her to 2/3 breast meat and 1/3 thigh meat (or beef) each day instead of about half and half, in order to cut calories for her so she can have more to eat. But it has backfired because the diet is too lean for her.
Queen Eva is almost on the same diet as Jennie with one exception, she gets Rad Cat as 1/3 of her diet. The Rad Cat has a good amount of fat, especially the lamb and beef which are in her rotation twice a week each. Queen Eva needs and gets way more fat than Jennie but she is a very lean cat.
So I've replaced part of Jennie's breakfast chunk (turkey or chicken breast) with some of that lovely fat, I've replaced it by weight, gram for gram. Just a little for now, and I'll see if she needs more.
