Personal Notes:
Many of my family recipes don't have exact measurements. Everything is seasoned to taste and no one could do it better than my Mama on my mother's side. This recipe is my Great, great grandmother Davis' and it has been passed down. It took me many years to perfect the gravy but I think I've finally got it now :)
