so am I .. here's the thing; when I was a kid we made this in school (4th/5th grade or so) around the holidays, but it was called "German pancakes" .. yeah I don't know either, that's what happens when you live in a multi-national society I guess, but it was delicious !

As for gravy - can't be bothered with arseing about "deglazing" the roasting pan to make gravy - gravy is made in a huge chemical plant by Premier Foods and it's called Bisto - four spoonfuls, ½pt boiling water, stir. Job done.


I agree. Bisto gravy is fine, and doesn't require faffing.
Bisto, the phrase "Ah, Bisto" and the Bisto kids are ingrained in the national psyche - even then I was surprised to read that it's now over 100 years old.
 
 
At the time of the acquisition, a Premier Foods director was quoted as saying, "When we acquired RHM, I don't think any of us realised that that old warhorse, Bisto, was part of the mix. To us, it's just gravy."
What?

I've tried making flavorful gravy from scratch and it's much harder than it seems, it's some magical blend of fat, protein and starch that eludes me, and I'm a pretty good cook

When roasting you meat, bung some carrot, onion, maybe some celery, and anything else at hand that you think might suit.
When the meat is done remove it and mash the veg, hopefully you have a lot of caramelised stuff in there. Add a tablespoon of flour and mix. Add water or stock and stir for 5 mins and it thickens. Salt and pepper to taste and then seive it to remiove the mashed veg.

Should be delicious.

Is that a term that we have another word for or just a typo?

Not everyone does this, and I never used too, but the onion at least is good for colour and flavour.
