Description
A classic American white gravy made with just four simple ingredients, perfect for biscuits, potatoes, or fried meats.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat until bubbling but not browned.
- Whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste and cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, whisking until the gravy thickens to desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately.
Notes
For a creamier texture, whisk in more milk if the gravy thickens after cooling. Refrigerate leftovers and reheat gently.
