Country Gravy

 

Need gravy, but you don't have a pre-packaged mix at home?  This recipe makes the perfect topping for biscuits and gravy, your chicken fried steak or chicken cutlets, or your mashed potatoes.  It's quick, easy, and delicious!  

3 Tbsp butter

4 Tbsp all purpose flour

1 1/2 cups chicken broth

1 cup milk (I use 2%)

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

(freshly ground pepper is a must for this recipe)

Measure out your ingredients before starting your gravy. Once you get started, the recipe comes together quickly and there isn't time to stop and gather and/or measure ingredients. 

Add butter to a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle with flour.  Whisk together in the pan and cook until golden brown and the flour begins to smell nutty.  

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and continue cooking until thickened.  Stir in the milk until smooth and beginning to thicken.  

Season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.  

Serve immediately.
