My aunt told me my gravy was too thin at Thanksgiving last year...

She said it should coat the back of a spoon, not run off it. I started using a roux with equal parts butter and flour, and now I measure it by the tablespoon per cup of broth.

The "coat the back of a spoon" thing haunts me too.

Same, @janarivera. It's the most useless skill in cooking.

Three people in my family burnt the spoon test and still won prizes @janarivera.
