  • Once browned, sprinkle the flour, stirring until the fat in the pan has completely absorbed the flour.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the whole milk (or half & half).
  • Stir occasionally, while at a low bubble, until thickened to desired consistency. (if too thick, add more milk or half & half)
  • Season with black pepper to taste.
  • Serve a few spoonfulls over biscuits (see notes).
