Instructions

MELT BUTTER:

Melt butter in a medium skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

WHISK IN FLOUR AND MILK:

Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
Slowly whisk in the milk, constantly whisking so no lumps form.

SIMMER:

Bring to a low boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste and continue simmering until the gravy thickens 10-15 minutes.

SERVE:

Serve immediately over biscuits.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

STORE: Place leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

FREEZE: Place the gravy in a freezer-safe container or storage bag. Freeze for 2-3 months.

THAW: Thaw the white gravy overnight in the refrigerator.

REHEAT: Thin the gravy out with a very small amount of milk and warm it in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, whisk and reheat if not warm enough.
