  2. Add 1/2 cup of coarse ground cornmeal and 1 teaspoon of salt to the pan. Whisk until combined.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cornmeal is lightly browned and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk (or more for desired consistency).
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency (about 5-10 minutes).
  6. Serve immediately over your favorite biscuits, fry bread, or mashed potatoes.
