    I use mushroom powder. Pulverize dried mushrooms in a coffee/ spice grinder. Let it sit for a good 15 minutes before opening the grinder to let the dust settle.

    It takes more mushroom powder compared to cornstarch in a recipe, but you can't beat the rich flavor it imparts. And no gluey- globby mess like the xanthun gum, tapioca starch, and arrowroot powder can sometimes give.

    All these cautions about xanthan gum, but not guidelines as to where to start?

    So, like, 1 tsp in 1 cup of gravy?

    @kirkor Even the package I had didn't really specify so I was literally pouring a tiny amount in my hand and trying to sprinkle evenly across the surface....I think the salt shaker idea would be so much easier.....
