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.
