Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups cooked crumbled sausage or bacon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter is fully melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a smooth paste and takes on a light golden color. Be careful not to burn it.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the whole milk, about 1/2 cup at a time, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Continue adding and whisking until all the milk is fully incorporated.
Step 4
Cook the gravy over medium heat, whisking frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
If using cooked crumbled sausage or bacon, stir it into the gravy now for added flavor and texture.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the gravy sit for 1-2 minutes to slightly thicken further before serving.
Step 8
Serve the sawmill gravy warm over freshly baked biscuits, fried chicken, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
