Best 5 Bacon And Buttermilk Gravy Recipes

BREAKFAST ESSENTIALS: BACON, BUTTERMILK GRAVY

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• For this recipe you will need a good skillet, saucepan, or Dutch oven.
• Do not have any buttermilk. No worries. You can substitute whole, or 2% milk. Just add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar per cup of milk and let sit for 5 - 10 minutes at room temperature. Then, use it as you would regular buttermilk.
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Dice the bacon into small bits.
• Add to a medium-sized pan, or Dutch oven over medium heat, and cook until the fat is rendered, and the bacon crisps, about 8 - 10 minutes.
• Remove all but 4 tablespoons of the bacon grease, then add the flour.
• If your bacon did not produce enough fat, you can sub some butter, or non-flavored oil.
• Stir over medium-low heat, for about 3 - 4 minutes.
• Stirring the fat and the flour for a few minutes will help get rid of that flour taste.
• Add the buttermilk, a bit at a time, and keep stirring, as you are pouring.
• Slowly bring the mixture up to a simmer and stir to make sure you do not have any lumps.
• Continue stirring until the gravy thickens, about 3 - 4 minutes.
• While the gravy is thickening, add some salt and pepper, to taste.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Biscuits, scrambled eggs, country-fried steak... It is gravy, go for it. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
