This creamy and flavorful white gravy is perfect for biscuits, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, or country-style meals. It’s simple, quick, and delicious!
Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups milk
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Optional: ¼ teaspoon garlic powder for extra flavor
Instructions
1. Melt the butter
In a medium-sized skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Make a roux
Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously for 1–2 minutes until it forms a smooth paste (known as a roux). Do not let it brown.
3. Add the milk
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture begins to thicken.
4. Season
Add the black pepper, salt, and garlic powder (if using). Continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes until the gravy reaches your desired thickness.
5. Serve
Remove from heat and serve warm over biscuits, mashed potatoes, or your favorite dish.
