How do you make old fashioned biscuit gravy?

Answer 1

Pour enough oil in a 9" frying pan to just cover the center of it. You may substitute a half a stick of butter or margarine, or clear bacon drippings. Pour in 2 or 3 heaping tablespoons of bleached white all purpose flour. Mix oil and flour until all the flour is dissolved in the oil and there are no lumps. Add oil if needed. Bring heat to medium. Add half a cup of milk, cream, or half and half. Whisk. Keep whisking occasionally until mixture begins to thicken. Add more milk and whisk. Keep adding milk and whisking until the gravy reaches the desired consistency. You may add a touch of chicken broth at this point, but not so much that you clarify the gravy. You may now add whatever you want to the gravy; little white onions, cooked sausage, bacon bits, chipped beef, sauteed onions, etc. Season to taste. Some seasoning suggestions: garlic powder, onion powder, white pepper, lemon juice, honey. Don't forget to salt it. Cooked egg whites (2 eggs) make a good whitening agent for gravy when liquefied in a small food processor and added in with the milk or cream. To make the yellow colored chicken gravy like you see in diners, just add a dash of turmeric. Bon appetit !

2 tbsp butter, melt in pan on medium heat. meanwhile whisk 2 tbsp white flour or cornstarch in 1 cup of milk. slowly whisk flour/milk mixture into melted butter. Whisk on medium heat until mixture starts to thicken. You may add more milk little at a time to thin. Remove from heat continue to whisk so lumps don't form. The secret to lumpless gravy is whisking the flour into COLD milk and then adding to the butter. Seasonings above all sound good!

Old fashioned biscuit gravy is easy. You will need 2 tablespoons of beef drippings, from cooking a roast or even hamburger. Stir in about 2 tablespoons of flour. This forms a solid mass. While stirring constantly, making certain that each addition is completely incorporated before adding the next allotment, begin adding more pan drippings, milk, or beef stock to the pan. This should be done on low heat. Stir until the gravy thicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This takes about 10 minutes.
