How to Make Easy Country Gravy
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until completely smooth.
- Cook and stir constantly over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is lightly browned and fragrant (a roux).
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk (or a combination of 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup chicken broth) ensuring no lumps form.
- Continue whisking constantly as the gravy simmers and thickens. This should take approximately 5-7 minutes.
- If the gravy becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time, whisking until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional), for a touch of heat. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve immediately over your favorite dish and enjoy!
