To make homemade white gravy, melt butter in a pan over medium heat, then whisk in flour to make a roux, cooking it until it turns a golden-brown color. Gradually add milk while whisking constantly until the gravy thickens. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot. Here is a simple recipe for white gravy: Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk (whole milk preferred)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Melt butter in a pan over medium heat.
- Add flour to the melted butter and whisk to form a roux. Continue whisking and cook for 1-2 minutes until the roux is golden brown and bubbly.
- Slowly add milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until gravy thickens.
- Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve the gravy over biscuits or your favorite dish.
This process takes about 10 minutes and results in a creamy, flavorful white gravy perfect for breakfast or comfort meals.
