Cream Sauce for Swedish Meatballs

Wonderful sauce!!! I used homemade stock and added a little beef base checking carefully that it didn't get too salty (thank you other reviewers). I also sauteed a minced shallot before adding the broth. This is going to be a 'go to' sauce for other dishes as well as the meatballs. As a public service announcement to my American friends I want to mention that the measurements are in Imperial as the chef is English. What this means to you is that a pint in England is 20 oz versus the 16 oz you may be accustomed too.

Wow!! this was great. I actually tripled the recipe for more sauce and added 1 shallot to sauce. I also added some dill and garlic powder.Everyone was raving about the sauce!!Thanks for a great recipe!!

Great simple sauce !! THANKS FOR POSTING!! I also add a dash of onion and garlic powder and a TBS of dried porcini mushroom powder ( brings out that umami flavor). I mix WONDRA flour into a tbs of sherry instead of water. I noticed that there were some posts about the measurements ( being uk verses us). Just remember to those of us who are American uk cooking measurements strike us dumbfounded!! Remember is this saying " a pints a pound world round " i.e. 16 oz ! That goes for volume or weight. Here is the recipe that was posted above serving 4 simplified ( non metric ) ¼ c cream ½ c beef stock/broth ½ Tbs soy sauce 1 tbs white flour 1 Tbs water Salt and white pepper to taste

This was very good. I doubled the recipe and omitted the soy sauce on mistake, but it was still delicious. My husband didn't believe me that a gravy-type could be made without meat drippings. Now he knows. Thanks!

My family enjoyed this very much. I loosely tripled the recipe using US ounces, which came out to a little less than 1 cup of cream which I assumed was half and half. I used a 14.5 oz. can of reduced sodium beef broth, about two tablespoons of soy sauce, and approximately 5 tablespoons each of flour and water. I thickened the gravy to the consistency we like. The additional soy sauce gave a little more depth of flavor and since the beef broth had 50% less sodium than regular we didn't find the gravy to be to salty. I used homemade meatballs that I keep in the freezer, and served it over mashed red potatoes. Even my husband enjoyed it and he said he's never really cared for Ikea's Swedish Meatballs. Thank you for a quick, satisfying and easy recipe.
