White Gravy Recipe
Description
The White Gravy Recipe begins by melting salted butter in a saucepan and combining it with flour to form a roux. This mixture cooks briefly to eliminate raw flour taste. Gradually adding milk while whisking prevents lumps and allows the gravy to thicken over gentle heat. Salt and black pepper season the sauce to taste.
The resulting gravy is smooth and creamy with a slightly thick consistency that can be adjusted by adding more milk or extending simmer time. It serves as a classic accompaniment to various Southern or comfort foods requiring a mild, luscious sauce.
Storing the gravy in a covered container in the refrigerator is possible, and reheating should be done gently to avoid separation or lumps.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter salted
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan, combine butter and flour.
- Heat over medium heat until butter melts.
- Once butter and flour is cooked, pour in milk.
- Continue to pour in milk and whisk to make sure there are no lumps.
- Allow the gravy to simmer for about 3-5 minutes or until thick.
- If it is too thick, add more milk. You may need up to another cup of milk.
- If it is to thin, allow it to simmer longer.
- Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftover gravy covered in the refrigerator and reheat gently to maintain smooth texture.
