White gravy is not just for biscuits in my world. You also dip your chicken and fries in it. You smother country fried chicken in it or country fried steak. I put peas in it for creamed peas. In old cookbooks, they called it white sauce. Whatever, I can’t live without this stuff.
This gravy changes flavor depending on what fat you use. Bacon fat is always a lovely choice. Also, be sure you mix your roux in the correct ratio. It’s 1 to 1. 1 tbsp fat to 1 tbsp flour. I used butter in this one.

Steps

10-15 minutes

1

Melt the butter over medium heat then stir in the flour and cook for about a minute or so.
2

Add milk and salt and pepper and stir constantly. Up the heat if necessary. I keep stirring until it comes to a boil. Boil for another minute. It thickens more as it stands. Dip anything in it or smother anything in it.

I'm an army brat with a Cajun mother and an Irish dad. I'm married to the love of my life, David, and we have 2 daughters and 2 grandchildren. I've been a barber for 40 years. Im an old fashioned, old school cook and my recipes are basic. I change them up all the time.Since finding out I’m diabetic I’ve had to rearrange old habits. Any recipe I have can be made the old fashioned way OR replaced with lower carb options. Just ask and I’ll tell you what has worked for me.I’m the self proclaimed queen of the leftover. I have issues with leftovers looking back at me with the same sappy look they had the day before. Can’t do it. My super power is turning what I find in my fridge into something I want to eat. I work so much better under pressure. I live for shortcuts and not having to run to the grocery every day. Work with what you have. Adapt and overcome. Also, the less dishes, bowls, and pots I hafta use, the better. Hope some of these recipes work out for ya!
