SIMPLE WHITE COUNTRY GRAVY - ONLY 5 INGREDIENTS



Simple White Country Gravy - Only 5 Ingredients image

Provided by Juliea Huffaker

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tbsp all purpose flour (Use cornstarch for gluten free gravy!)
2 cups milk (whole or 2% milk) *If you use lowfat milk it will not have a rick=h texture and that creamy taste.
Salt to taste * I use 1 tsp pink salt, because that tastes best to me... You can always add more, but not less last, so start with less and add to taste.
1/2 tsp black pepper *more to taste

Steps:

  • cooks out. Continue whisking and letting the butter and flour cook. It'll start smelling buttery and good. You'll see the roux paste get a bit darker in color as it cooks.... That's good! Let it develop to a blond color. This is a simple roux and is the base for country gravy (and other gravies, soups and sauces).
  • After the flour and butter roux are done, whisk in milk until smooth. It will start thickening, but continue whisking!
  • Once it thickens to a nice thick gravy, it's time to add salt and pepper to season it.

This is a beautiful example of classic, very old-school American country cooking. There are a lot of variations, and this is my favorite. This goes on fried chicken, country-fried steak, and biscuits.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces breakfast sausage links, casings removed and meat broken up
4 strips bacon, sliced crosswise
½ cup chopped green onions (light parts only)
⅓ cup packed all-purpose flour
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 ½ cups cold milk
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
1 pinch cayenne pepper for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat; cook sausage and bacon in the hot butter, stirring to break the sausage up into small pieces, until sausage is browned and bacon is almost crisp, about 10 minutes. Mix 1/2 cup green onion into sausage mixture and saute until onions are soft, about 3 more minutes.
  • Stir flour into meat mixture, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, until thoroughly combined and mixture is pasty. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes to remove raw taste of flour.
  • Whisk milk into meat mixture, about 1 cup at a time, until combined. Continue to whisk until gravy begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Turn heat to medium-high, bring gravy to a simmer, and season with a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Continue to simmer gravy until flavors have blended and gravy is thick, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon green onion and a pinch of cayenne pepper for garnish.
