FAQ
What is milk gravy made of?
Place milk, butter, salt and pepper in a small sauce pan , bring to a simmer over medium heat. As milk starts to simmer whisk cornstarch and water into a slurry. Add this to milk, it should thicken almost immediately. Serve over biscuits, fries, or potato pancakes.
Is gravy better with water or milk?
Water, broth, or milk: Any of the three will work here. I actually like gravy made with water best, but experiment and see what works for you. Broth will give you a really flavor-packed gravy and gravy made with milk will be richer (but a little sweet for my taste).
Why is white gravy called sawmill gravy?
The term “sawmill gravy” comes from early logging camp food and old-time sawmills. It was originally made with cornmeal, bacon drippings, milk, and seasonings. This resulted in a somewhat gritty gravy; in fact, rumor has it that the loggers would accuse the cooks of putting sawdust in the recipe!
What is the gravy in biscuits and gravy made of?
Flour – Mixed with the fat released by the sausage the flour makes the roux that gives you the creamiest gravy. Milk – I use whole milk in this recipe to keep it extra rich and creamy. Seasoned Salt + Pepper – Flavor, flavor, flavor!
