Milk Gravy Paula Deen Recipes

MILK GRAVY (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• ~NOTE~ This recipe will have more flavor if you use 1-2 tablespoons of oil from the oil you fried chicken fried steak in, or maybe even bacon grease. If you don't have that, no need to worry, you can use vegetable oil or vegetable shortening.
• Heat 1-2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Whisk in flour, whisking constantly for about 1 minute.
• Slowly add milk, whisking constantly.
• Stir in pepper and salt and continue cooking.
• Whisk constantly for about 10 minutes, or until thickened.

SAWMILL GRAVY (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• On medium heat, heat up skillet for 1 to 2 minutes. Combine sausage, bacon, onion and garlic.
• Put this mixture in pan hot pan. Break up sausage while cooking. Cook until sausage and bacon are browned.
• Stir in flour, pepper, salt and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. This will make a roux with the sausage and bacon fat.
• Slowly stir in the half and half. Keep stirring and cook over medium heat until it thickens.
• Stir in butter and serve.
• P.S. 1. If the gravy is too thick, you can add more half/half to thin it out. 2. If there are any leftovers and you want to re-heat this. I stir in a little more half /half and pop it in the microwave. 3. In the original recipe it calls for 1 tsp of salt, but for me there is a lot of salt in the meat already. It is easier to add salt to your plate, then have one person not be able to eat this because it is too salty for them. 4. We have also tried this with half hot sausage and half regular for a little more spice. Or you can just add red pepper flakes while cooking the meat.

COUNTRY FRIED STEAK WITH MILK GRAVY

Steps:

• Add 1 1/4 cups flour to a pie plate and season with salt, pepper and seasoned salt.
• Add buttermilk to a pie plate and season with a few dashes of hot sauce.
• Season the meat on both sides with Paula Deen House Seasoning. Dredge the steaks through the buttermilk then the flour.
• Add an inch of oil to a large heavy skillet set over medium-high heat. Add steaks to the hot oil in batches and fry until golden and brown, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined sheet tray and repeat with remaining steaks.
• Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour into oil and stir with wooden spoon. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring. Stir gravy until smooth. Season with lots of black pepper. Add the steaks back to the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Serve on buttered biscuits with sliced green onions.

BISCUITS WITH MILK GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 °F.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in the shortening with a fork until it looks like cornmeal. Add the milk, a little at a time, stirring constantly until well mixed.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly two or three times. Roll out the dough with a floured rolling pin to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-inch cutter.
• Place the biscuits in a greased iron skillet. Gently press down top of biscuits. Brush the biscuits with half the 1/4 cup melted butter. Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown. Brush the hot biscuits with the remaining melted butter. Split the biscuits in half and ladle milk gravy over the hot biscuits.
• Heat bacon grease in a cast iron skillet. Add the flour and whisk until smooth and bubbly about 1 minute. Add the warm milk slowly and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and stir, until thickened, about 5 minutes, adding milk as necessary to control the thickness. Add 2 tablespoons butter until mixed in. Season the gravy with salt and pepper. Serve hot over biscuits.
