Steps:
- Into the pan that the ham was cooked in (or use bacon grease if you don't have ham juices), add the butter. Once melted, add 1/4 cup of the flour and whisk to combine. Continue adding flour, whisking constantly, until a smooth paste is achieved. Cook the roux over a medium heat until you get a nice deep golden color, about 3 minutes. Add the milk, whisking the whole time to prevent lumps forming. Cook until thick and season to taste. Serve over biscuits!

Steps:
- Roast ham on a roasting rack in the oven. My 9 lb ham took about 3 hours at 325 degrees.

- Pour broth in a measuring up. If you don't have 2 cups of broth add water, store bought broth, milk or cream to have two total cups of liquid.
- Melt two tablespoons of butter in a skillet on low to medium-low heat. Be careful to not burn the butter.
- Add two tablespoons of flour to the butter. Whisk continuely for two minutes to smooth out any flour lumps.
- Flour and butter mixture should be slighly golden and smooth.
- Slowly pour in a little broth at a time. Whisk well then add more broth.
- *instead of using 2 cups of ham broth, use 1/2 cup ham broth with 1.5 cups milk, cream or coffee.

HAM GRAVY; SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS
I whipped this gravy up because we had none. I don't recall ever having nor hearing of ham gravy before, but it was so good I have to share. The ham I used was a 9lb bone-in, fully cooked, hickory smoked, glazed and spiral cut, it also came with a brown sugar packet for a second glazing. After I covered the ham with foil and put it in the oven for an hour (as the directions directed), I spooned out some drippings BEFORE adding the second glaze and returning the ham to the oven for the final 30 minutes of warming up.

Tips:
- Use a good quality ham. The better the ham, the better the gravy will be. Look for a ham that is well-marbled and has a good smoke flavor.
- Don't overcook the ham. Overcooked ham will make the gravy tough and chewy. Cook the ham to an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure the pan is hot before adding the flour. This will help to prevent the flour from clumping.
- Whisk the gravy constantly. This will help to prevent lumps from forming.

- Serve the gravy immediately. Ham gravy is best when served hot.
