White Gravy

Post by ragtopW »

OK so I made Gravy tonight..
it was .. Tan, I used the drippings from my
chicken fried steak.. It tasted great!!
but it was not "White"

should I use a "virgin" pan? (no drippings) just
start with flour??

Absolutely!!!!

You want that tasty "stuff" from the pan. Tan is much yummier!!

Virgin pan & flour = white glue...... or just plain white sauce, which is fine but is not "white gravy"






P.S. CAN I COME OVER FOR DINNER?????

If you use whole milk and white flour, that's white enough for me! :D

Tan is not bad. Go with low, low heat while stirring the flour into the pan goodies. And I have found better color using 1/2 and 1/2 rather than milk.

As long as it taste good I would not care about the color. You have to have the fixings from your pan to make gravy, I love sausage gravy on Sunday Mornings!
