Gradually stir in liquid and milk. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly with whisk. Boil and stir about 1 minute or until gravy thickens. Stir in salt and pepper. If gravy is too thick, stir in more milk until desired consistency.
Cook up some bacon for drippings to serve over your favorite biscuits. Make sure it is nice and crisp so you get browned drippings for your gravy.
It is easy to double or triple the recipe for more servings.
End up with a few lumps? Pour your homemade white gravy through a wire mesh sieve to smooth the gravy to a silky smoothness.
