Milk Gravy

Source of Recipe


From "Tupelo Honey Cafe" by Elizabeth Sims



List of Ingredients



• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  
• 2 cups whole milk
  
• 3/4 tsp sea salt, or as needed
  
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  






Instructions



1. In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour and whisk to combine.
   
   
2. Increase the heat to medium and stir the mixture constantly for 2 minutes. You want to be sure that the mixture does not brown. Slowly whisk in the milk and add the salt.
   
   
3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and coats the spoon. Add the black pepper and cayenne. Taste and add more salt, if needed. Remove from the heat and serve over biscuits or fried chicken.
   
   Makes 2 cups.
