Easy White Country Gravy Recipe

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + cornstarch

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is lower in saturated fats.

Start by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet until bubbly.

Add in 3 tablespoons of flour and whisk together to form a roux.

Cook the roux for 3 to 10 minutes, depending on desired darkness; 3-5 minutes for blonde gravy, 10 minutes for a darker, nuttier flavor.

Ensure the temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to cook out any potential bacteria in the flour.

Gradually add milk, about an eighth of a cup at a time, while stirring vigorously to avoid lumps.

Continue adding milk until reaching a desired thickness, up to 2 cups total.

The gravy should become thick and smooth, sticking to the whisk as it thickens.
