How to Make a Roux Into A Gravy | How to Make a Fool Proof Roux |

Start by heating a wide skillet over medium heat.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of meat drippings to the skillet.

Sprinkle in 2-3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour into the drippings and stir to combine, forming a paste.

Cook the roux on medium heat, allowing it to caramelize and develop color, stirring continuously.

Once the roux reaches a caramel color, prepare to add milk for a lighter gravy flavor.

Add milk gradually to the roux, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Keep the heat on medium-high and continue to stir until the gravy thickens to the desired consistency.

Taste the gravy and adjust seasonings with about 0.5 teaspoon of salt and fresh cracked pepper as needed.

Once the gravy is at the desired consistency, remove it from heat to prevent further thickening.

Serve the gravy, optionally over mashed potatoes.
