How to Make Country Gravy Cream Gravy
- In a medium saucepan, melt bacon grease and butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally until butter is completely melted.
- Gradually whisk in the flour, ensuring no lumps form. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is lightly golden brown.
- Slowly whisk in the milk, a little at a time, continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming. Continue whisking until the gravy is smooth.
- Bring the gravy to a simmer, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and stir in the bouillon cube (or beef base), salt, and pepper. Whisk until the bouillon is completely dissolved.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. If the gravy is too thin, whisk in a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve immediately over your favorite dish, such as biscuits, mashed potatoes, or chicken fried steak.
