A mother has unearthed an easy gravy recipe tasting just like KFC’s famous sauce. 

Initially shared on international food site Allrecipes.com, the easy step-by-step recipe was shared on the Memories with Dishes blog. 

UK Families are growing desperate to recreate their favourite takeaway’s at home, and high street restaurants have kindly started to share their most famous dishes online. 

The KFC seven spices mix is a well-kept secret that is likely to stay that way, however, some claim to have cracked the code to the beloved gravy. 

The recipe shared on Memories with Dishes lists only seven ingredients, and water, to achieve the same taste as the famous condiment.

You’ll need butter or shortening, flour, garlic powder, black pepper, a beef boullion cube, a chicken boullion cube and two cups of water at the ready. A teaspoon of sage is also optional. 

To start with, the recipe advises to boil the water before adding the bouillion cubes, and setting the mix aside. 

It then instructs you to add the flour, sage, garlic powder and the black pepper in a small bowl, to mix them together and to set it aside as well. 

Next you add the butter in a saucepan and put it on a low heat, monitoring it with occasional stirring until the butter has melted.

When the butter is completely melted, you add in the flour mix and stir constantly while cooking it until it’s colour reaches a golden brown. 

The penultimate step is to gently pour the water and cube mix into the sauce pan while still stirring to prevent lumps.  

For the finishing touch, turn the heat up to medium and to continue to stir until the mixture resembles a creamy and ‘pourable’ gravy sauce.  

When a mother shared the recipe on Facebook, she was met with countless thanks. 

‘Yummy yum thanks for sharing this recipe I love their gravy,’ one wrote. 

‘There IS something special about KFC Gravy, hope this compares, will definitely need to try” another said.
