My Granny made some great gravy.
And when I say gravy, I’m not in particular talking about turkey gravy, or roast beef gravy, although she made both of those very well, as she did everything she cooked. But her white gravy was beyond perfection.
White gravy is a staple of Southern cuisine. It’s also called “milk” or “sawmill” gravy.
White gravy is what you spoon over biscuits, ladle over country-fried steak and mashed potatoes or dollop on fried chicken. It’s based on pan or bacon drippings, along with a little white flour, cold milk, some butter, salt and a strong dash of black pepper.
Perfection. Please pass the biscuits.
Some people doll it up with crumbled sausage or bacon or even roasted garlic, but to me that’s just gilding the {White} Lily, since anything more is simply…

I know! I’m sitting here contemplating that I have flour, milk, butter and bacon to make gravy, but I have no biscuits, bread or anything else to put it on. Country fried steak would be such a bonus! Thanks for stopping by!

I wouldn’t know how to make any of it. I got hooked when I was living in the Midwest… but never learned. I need to go get recipes and go crazy lol

Funny you wrote about gravy today! We love gravy, especially the white/cream gravy and have it a lot. In fact for supper tonight that’s what we had, with chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. Yum! 🙂

Round here we call it cream gravy. For me it is toss up between it and brown gravy. Guess it just depends what you are having.
