Instructions
- Add butter, and melt over MED heat. Once melted, add flour, salt, pepper, thyme, and cayenne and whisk to combine.
- Cook flour/butter mixture for 1-2 minutes.
- Slowly pour in milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, whisking after each addition, until all milk has been added and no lumps remain.
- Bring to a vigorous simmer, whisking frequently. Allow to simmer for about 3 - 5 minutes, or until gravy is smooth, creamy and thickened to your liking.
- If gravy gets too thick, add a splash of milk or water to thin it out.
Notes
- This recipe has been updated due to reader requests and my own testing.
- If you were a fan of the original recipe, here it is:
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 3 Tbsp flour
- 1 cup milk, plus an optional additional 1-2 Tbsp (depending on your preference for a thinner or thicker gravy)
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- In a saucepan, melt butter.
- Once butter is melted, add the flour and whisk. It will look like the consistency of wet sand.
- Slowly add the milk, and whisk to incorporate. Whisk until smooth.
- Gravy will thicken, add in the additional milk if you want a thinner gravy.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
