Cooking Tips

• Be sure to whisk the flour into the melted butter thoroughly to avoid lumps in the gravy.
• If the gravy becomes too thick, you can thin it out by adding more milk or cream.
• For a richer flavor, you can use a combination of milk and chicken or beef broth instead of just milk.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover gravy can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the gravy on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
• Country gravy is best served fresh and hot, but leftovers can still be enjoyed as a topping for other dishes.
