Ingredients
- 8 lices Bacon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- baked biscuits for serving
Instructions
- Brown bacon in a large skillet until crisp.
- Remove bacon and leave 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet.
- Whisk flour into the bacon fat and cook 1 minute.
- Add milk a little bit at a time, stirring after each addition.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thick and bubbly.
- Crumble bacon and stir into the gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon over biscuits for serving.
Notes
- You will need at least 2 tablespoons of bacon fat. If you don't have enough fat, cook more bacon or add some butter so you have a total of 2 tablespoons.
- When making a roux, allow the flour and bacon fat to cook for at least 1 minute. This gets rid of the starchy flavor.
- Stir in the milk a little bit at a time whisking after each addition. The milk mixture will be very thick at first.
