Country Gravy

By cw_2009

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of the drippings from cooking the fried chicken
• 3 cups whole milk
• salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup flour

Preparation

Step 1

Pour out all but 1/2 cup of the fat from the chicken pan. Return the pan to the heat and stir in the flour, scraping up all the lovely, crispy brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for a minute or two until the flour begins to turn golden, then slowly whisk in the whole milk.

Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy is desired thickness. Season to taste with salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Serve with mashed potatoes.
