Ingredients
The following ingredients have 16 Servings
- 1/4 cup fat (bacon fat is preferred -- no it's essential -- if you are making cream gravy)
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk (chicken stock, turkey stock, vegetable stock, or beef stock)
- Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Instruction
- Add the fat to a heavy skillet, melting it if it's solid.
- Whisk in the flour until no lumps remain.
- Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, or until it starts to brown and smell a little like roasting pecans.
- Whisk in the milk or stock, a little at a time, stirring until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, for a few minutes or until it thickens.
- Taste and add salt and pepper plus any other herbs and seasonings you'll be using.
- Serve immediately.
