Directions: |
Directions:In the frying pan that you cooked your chicken or beef in, add enough extra butter to equal ½ cup of butter/drippings mixed all together. Scrape the meat bits off the pan and incorporate into drippings as your additional butter is melting in the pan. Once the butter is completely melted, add ½ cup of flour; mix together to create your roux and cook for at least 2 to 3 minutes to make sure the flour does not taste raw anymore.
Add your broth, stock or milk and stir constantly over medium heat to avoid burning the bottom of the pan, especially if you are using milk as your liquid. Stir until thick, add more liquid if the gravy is too thick. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Option: Add cooked and crumbled sausage and extra pepper to milk gravy to make a creamy gravy for breakfast; biscuits and gravy - Yum! |

Notes: Gravy! A must for the Vandenhole kids on their mashed potatoes!
If it was Thanksgiving, I used the drippings from the roasted Turkey for the the gravy. If it was Christmas and we had roast, I used the drippings from the roasting pan to make beef gravy along with Worcestershire sauce and almost always added a little whipping cream to lighten up the color of the gravy and make it extra rich. If it was Sunday dinner fried chicken, I used the emptied chicken frying pan, scraped the bits of the chicken left in the pan as I melted the butter and added flour and milk and/or cream to make a white, creamy chicken gravy for your mashed potatoes. Sometimes I added a half cube of chicken bouillon if the gravy needed a little more salt.
I used this white milk gravy when making Hamburger Gravy over rice or boiled potatoes. This gravy recipe has been in your lives in many different forms, you just didn't know it until now! Happy gravy making for your Sunday dinners and holidays :) Special occasions done right!
