Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan or skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is fully melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour. Continue whisking for about 1-2 minutes to create a golden roux. Avoid letting the mixture brown too much.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the whole milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Step 4
Increase the heat slightly to medium-high and continue stirring as the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Step 6
If desired, add sausage drippings or cooked crumbled sausage for a heartier gravy, and stir until heated through.
Step 7
