Old Fashioned Brown Gravy

By jeknudson

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons pan drippings
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup water
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Immediately after removing meat from a roasting pan or other pan, drain off the drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons. Sprinkle the flour over drippings; cook and stir over medium heat until brown. Gradually stir in milk, whisking with a fork to scrape up all of the meaty bits from the pan, then gradually whisk in the water. Increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 10 minutes. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.
