Southern White Country Gravy(Milk Gravy)
One of the cornerstones of Southern dishes, this savory gravy is the perfect addition to fried chicken, chicken fried steak, or even on hot biscuits if you don't have sausage gravy. This homemade gravy is mild and buttery and comes together in less than five minutes—which means you can whip it up quickly whenever your main dish needs a little something extra.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 cups whole milk (warmed)
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper

Barbara's Notes + Tips
- Use whole milk for the creamiest gravy.
- Warm the milk in the microwave before adding to thicken it quicker.
- If it gets to thick, just add a little more milk.
