How to Make Country Gravy

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
  3. Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the hot oil, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps. Cook and stir for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture is lightly browned and fragrant.
  4. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of milk, a little at a time, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy reaches your desired thickness, about 2-3 minutes. If it's too thick, add a little more milk; if it's too thin, continue to cook for a minute or two longer.
  5. (Optional) Stir in 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled pork sausage for extra flavor.
  6. Serve immediately over your favorite country fried steak, chicken, or biscuits.
