Basic Brown Gravy

1½ tablespoon corn oil
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups fat-free (skim) milk
½ cup cold water
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 cubes reduced-sodium beef bouillon dissolved in ¼ cup hot water
Kitchen Bouquet (usually found in spice aisle), optional

Directions
1. Place oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Combine flour, milk, ½ cup cold water, pepper and salt in a jar, cover tightly, and shake to mix well. Pour milk mixture into hot oil and cook, stirring constantly with a wire whisk, until it begins to thicken, about 1 or 2 minutes.
2. Add bouillon dissolved in hot water and continue cooking, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes. If a darker brown gravy is preferred, add several drops of Kitchen Bouquet until desired color is achieved.
