👨‍🍳 Instructions

Heat bacon drippings in a skillet over medium heat; whisk flour into drippings until smooth.

Reduce heat to low and cook the flour mixture until it turns a caramel brown color, stirring constantly, about 15 minutes.

Be careful, the roux burns easily.

Stir in salt and black pepper.

Whisk 1/2 cup milk into the roux until thoroughly blended.

Continue whisking milk into the gravy, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking in each amount of milk completely before adding more.

Bring gravy to a simmer and whisk constantly until thick, smooth, and bubbling.
