Biscuits and gravy go together like Elvis and Memphis, and I’ve always heard it was one of the king’s favorite meals. Gravy is one of the simplest things in the world, but people can have a lot of trouble making it. I was so happy to find this excellent video recipe tutorial on making the perfect gravy by The Hillbilly Kitchen on YouTube. The recipe was so straightforward and there were so many great tips in the video, it really upped my gravy game 100 percent.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sausage (you can use the end bits of the tube if you are making your own sausage)
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of milk
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Directions:
In this excellent video recipe tutorial on making the perfect gravy by The Hillbilly Kitchen on YouTube, you will learn how to pull off a beautiful skillet full of Southern gravy without a hitch. One of the first secrets that The Hillbilly Kitchen shares with us is the fact that you don’t need a lot of grease to make your roux. The sausage drippings need to be just wet enough to absorb the flour. Greasy gravy is pretty gross, so you want to drain some off before you start the gravy.
Then, you will add all of the cold milk at once and stir in well. Keep stirring the gravy over low heat until it thickens.
This gravy recipe is just like the gravy my grandma made, I love it!
