How to Make Red Eye Gravy
- After frying your country ham, leave approximately 2 tablespoons of ham fat in the skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar to the hot ham fat. Stir constantly, allowing the sugar to caramelize and brown while scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour in 1/2 cup of water (or more, to desired consistency) and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, or until the gravy has thickened and is well blended.
- (Optional) Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of instant coffee granules for a deeper, richer flavor.
- Remove from heat and serve your Red Eye Gravy immediately, warm and ready to pour over biscuits, grits, or eggs!
