Gravy Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup butter Gives the gravy a rich flavor.
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour Thickens the sauce beautifully.

  • Salt to taste Brings all the flavors together.

Preparation
  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the flour and stir constantly for about 2 minutes until it forms a roux.
  3. Slowly pour in the milk while whisking vigorously to prevent lumps from forming.

  5. Add black pepper and salt to taste, adjusting as necessary.
  6. Scoop the warm gravy over your favorite dishes like mashed potatoes, biscuits, or fried chicken.
