Fried Ham And Cream Gravy Recipes

HAM GRAVY

Steps:

• Into the pan that the ham was cooked in (or use bacon grease if you don't have ham juices), add the butter. Once melted, add 1/4 cup of the flour and whisk to combine. Continue adding flour, whisking constantly, until a smooth paste is achieved. Cook the roux over a medium heat until you get a nice deep golden color, about 3 minutes. Add the milk, whisking the whole time to prevent lumps forming. Cook until thick and season to taste. Serve over biscuits!

• Add two tablespoons of flour to the butter. Whisk continuely for two minutes to smooth out any flour lumps.

• Slowly pour in a little broth at a time. Whisk well then add more broth.

• Whisk and simmer gravy until reduced to your perfered thickness.
