Help me save my gravy!

I hate when I *** up a dinner that I've been looking forward to.  I roasted a chicken and made mashed potatoes for dinner.  My favorite part of this meal is the gravy and I totally messed it up tonight.  I used way too much flour and now it tastes all, well, flour-y.  Not good.  Can it be saved or is it destined for the sink?

    Can you add some hot (boiling?) chicken stock, maybe?

    ditto...and spice it up how you like it.  you'll just end up with a little extra gravy.

    agree with the others, cook the flour for a few minutes to cook the raw flour taste out, then add extra boiling liquid and whisk. now i want gravy!

    Whisk thoroughly because it can still lump up

    I don't have any chicken stock handy - do you think a boullion cube would work?

    Extra gravy is never a bad thing :)

    deffinatly if you make the 1 cup of broth and then add is...cubes to me just seem saltier then stock...I always have a can of stockon hand.  If I knew where you lived I'd drop it off on my way to get DH from the airport...lol.

    Aw, you're sweet!  Thanks!  I made up some boullion and added it.  It was better but still not great.  Boo.  I'll just have to try again this weekend.

    For every one cup of liquid, use one tablespoon of flour and butter. Do you start by baking a roux?
