My grandmother’s creamy milk gravy that adds flavor to any meal.

Jump To Recipe

Gravies are so easy to make and will add flavor to any meal.  My favorite is milk gravy.  It makes meats, potatoes, and biscuits so much better than plain.

When I have made a meat I use the drippings to make my gravy.  This will add so much additional flavor to the gravy.  Start by scraping up the crumbles in the drippings and then stir in the flour.  If you do not have drippings you can use butter.

After you have stirred and cooked the flour mixture for about two minutes, slowly add the milk.  Keep your stove temperature on medium and keep stirring to mix the milk with the flour mixture.

Lower your heat and continue to cook until the gravy is the desired thickness.  If it becomes too thick just add more milk.

If you have left over gravy, you can also add milk to reheat and use the gravy the next day.

2 tbsp. meat drippings or butter
2 tbsp. flour
1 to 1 ½ cups milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Heat drippings or butter to medium high. Slowly stir in flour and continue to stir for about one minute. Lower heat to medium and slowly add 1 cup of milk while stirring. Lower heat to medium low stirring until gravy has thickened. If gravy is too thick, add more milk until the desired thickness.
