How to Make White Gravy

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of drippings (from chicken fried steak or other meat) over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth and light brown, cooking for about 1-2 minutes. Make sure to cook out the raw flour taste.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of whole milk, constantly stirring to prevent lumps.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite dish.
