Homemade White Gravy
Report
Homemade White Gravy is made from butter, all-purpose flour, milk or cream, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. The gravy is prepared by making a roux with butter and flour, then whisking in milk until thickened into a smooth, savory sauce that pairs well with biscuits and meats.
Description
This simple white gravy starts by melting butter in a skillet and cooking flour with it briefly to create a roux that eliminates raw flour taste while adding a slightly nutty aroma. Gradually whisking in whole milk or heavy cream yields a smooth and creamy sauce. The gravy is seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
The finished gravy has a velvety texture and mild flavor, perfect as a topping for breakfast biscuits or fried foods. Cooking over medium heat ensures gradual thickening without lumps or scorching.
