How to Make Homemade Ham Gravy with Just 4 Ingredients!

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while cornstarch is a gluten-free thickener.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: low-sodium chicken broth

💰Cheaper: water

Low-sodium broth is healthier, while water is a budget-friendly alternative.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, and water can be used to lighten the gravy.

Whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup heavy whipping cream until smooth.

Heat a skillet over low to medium heat.

Gradually add 2 cups of ham drippings to the flour and cream mixture while whisking continuously.

Add 1 cup of water to thin out the gravy.

Continue whisking until the gravy thickens and bubbles.

If the gravy is too thin, mix a tablespoon of flour with water and add it to the gravy to thicken.
