If the cutlets are not juicy enough, then it's too early to despair. Gravy will help correct the situation. Thanks to a simple recipe, it can be prepared in five minutes, even if you didn't plan on it. Gravy will make not only cutlets tastier, but also meatballs, stuffed cabbage rolls, pasta, mashed potatoes and many other dishes.

• flour – 5 tsp. l.;
• water (ideally broth) – 3 cups;
