Country Gravy

Ingredients

4 tbsp of butter 4 tbsp of flour 3 cups of milk 1 tablespoon of salt (15g) 1-2 teaspoons of pepper (5-10g)

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a NON STICK saucepan over medium heat, you can let it brown if you like.
  • Add in the flour until its all disolved in the butter (important you add the flour before the milk, this prevents lumps)
  • Pour in the milk, and mix, keep on medium heat.
  • It will slowly start to thicken. (~10 minutes) Just keep stirring it occasionally to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom.
  • Add in the salt and pepper, and mix. Add more salt or pepper to taste.

Notes

  • I like to use frozen sausage patties on the side and add them to the gravy after it's done.
  • You can cook ground pork and substitute in pork fat in place of butter (peronsally I don't notice a difference in flavor)
  • If you make this same recipie using beef tallow in place of butter (beef fat left over from cooking ground beef) it taste amazing.... I like to make meatballs and rice. Then make gravy using the beef fat to pour over the rice.
