Cream Gravy

Cream Gravy

Also known as sawmill gravy, milk gravy, white gravy or chicken gravy, is the typical accompaniment to Southern fried chicken. In many homes one is never served without the other. This gravy can also be made from the drippings of meat other than fried chicken.

1/4 cup pan drippings
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 1/2 to 3 cups hot milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Pour off all except 1/4 cup drippings from skillet in which the chicken was fried; place skillet over medium heat. Add flour, and stir until browned. Gradually add hot milk; cook,stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in salt and pepper. Serve hot! Serve with biscuits too! Yield 2 3/4 cups.

Use a whisk to stir to prevent any lumps from forming.
Can use skim milk but of course whole milk makes a creamier gravy.
