Directions:
After frying meat, pour off most of the grease until there is about a couple of Tablespoons left in the skillet. Leave on medium-high heat. Add the flour to hot grease and brown for just a few minutes. Add milk and stir to remove most of the lumps until it comes to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Stir frequently to judge consistency. If it is too thin after simmering a few minutes, then add a little flour, a Tbsp at a time. If it is too thick, add milk and continue to simmer til hot. Add salt and pepper to taste.
