My gravy went from lumpy to smooth after one comment from my aunt

Last Thanksgiving I made gravy that looked like wallpaper paste. My aunt said I was adding the flour too fast. She said do a slow drizzle while whisking constantly. Tried it on a random Tuesday with a chicken dinner. Worked perfect. 2 minutes of slow pouring vs my usual 30 second dump. Now I always time my flour addition. Anyone else fix a basic cooking skill this late in life?

Wait, you're telling me you spent years just dumping flour in all at once and wondering why it was lumpy? I honestly thought everybody knew the slow drizzle thing.

@rubys80 I dump flour in all at once and my gravy's been fine for 20 years.
