1. First of all you need to melt the bullion cube in a cup of hot water.
   
   Put about 2 TBSP flour into a non-stick fry pan and brown it by heating the pan and continuously moving flour until it gets a little golden brown
   
   Add a little melted butter into pan and mix until paste like.
   
   Add melted bullion cube mixture to your flour paste and stir on low until smooth and liquid as gravy should be, BUT, do not use all the salty bullion ,melted, cube liquid, use some plain water in the pan to get a balanced flavour, but not too salty. You could add some onion powder or fried onions or fried mushrooms to your gravy also. Sprinkle of pepper is OK.
   
   Taste it.
2. Make the bouillon soup like the package suggests (probably one cube to one cup of water) and then mix about a tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot powder into a couple tablespoons of cold water.
   
   
   
   Pour the cold water/cornstarch mixture into the hot bouillon mixture and thicken over med-high heat, stirring constantly, until it is the desired gravy consistency.
