Ingredients
2 tbsp heavy cream
2 tbsp AP flour
1 tsp black pepper
1 ½ c. milk
½ tsp salt
additional salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp butter, or fat from cooking your meat
How to make Easy Homemade White Gravy
Step 1: In a small saucepan, melt the butter on low heat. Once the butter has melted, add the flour to the pan and stir. Cook the flour for about 3 to 4 minutes or until well mixed and turned golden brown.
Step 2: Stir 1/4 cup of milk into the pan. At this point, the mixture will become a very thick paste. Slowly stir in 1/4 cup of milk until the mixture has slightly thinned. Now, whisk in the rest of the 1 cup milk. To taste, season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Bring the mixture to a low simmer and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until thickened and glossy.
Step 4: To the pan, add the heavy cream. As needed, sprinkle with more salt and pepper.
Notes:
Add enough salt depending on the butter used. Make sure to finish the gravy before adjusting the salt and pepper to suit your taste.
This is a very thick gravy so if you want to thin it out, add ¼-1/2 cup more milk.
