Difference between revisions of "Make White Gravy"

Homemade white gravy is considered a staple in southern kitchens. It adds moisture and flavor to meat, chicken, bread and potatoes. Although white gravy can be made quickly and easily using prepackaged mixes, making it from scratch is relatively simple, and tends to yield a richer taste and texture. Cooks who choose to make white gravy from scratch also utilize food more efficiently, since they can mix the fat that dripped off their meat into the gravy instead of disposing of it. Basic recipes for white gravy tend to be similar to one another, but some cooks like to personalize their own white gravy recipes by adding in different combinations of seasoning.
