This makes a good starter country gravy, easy to customize with other ingredients. Good flavor, I used butter instead of vegetable oil.

Browned a tube of pork sausage. Used the drippings from that and a stick of butter instead of the vegetable oil. Also used 2 cups whole milk and 2 cups skim milk. Lots of stirring to keep lumps at bay, but worth it. Watch it carefully. Two thumbs up from my boys who have been wanting me to make them biscuits and gravy! Thx for the recipe.

I think your portions are out of whack. I tried it and I ended up with something looking like mashed potatos. The ratio of veg oil to flour in your recipe is 1 to 3. I've checked other recipes for country gravy and they are all 1 to 1.

I followed the recipe exactly, except to substitute butter for the oil. After cooking it forever the gravy wouldn't thicken(which was very frustrating) so I ended up adding some cornstarch. My gravy turned out really dark. A a few of my siblings actually asked me if it was hot chocolate while I was making it:) Must have done something wrong somewhere... Anyhow, they liked it and ended up finishing it all. I probably wouldn't use this recipe again because of the bad experience I had making it, and we all still like sausage gravy alot better. Thanks for sharing though.

Being from the south, This is a great basic recipe for country gravy...or what we have always called milk gravy..and sure, you can alter with bacon drippings or sausage..but sometimes simple is better!Thanks for sharing!

This turned out to be excellent. I added some drippings from bacon to provide a little more flavor. My test subjects (LOL) loved it and so did I.

This is a great recipe but for the old timers we did not use whole milk in it. We used half and half canned carnation milk with 1/2 water and it is much richer and always use bacon or sausage drippings to get the authentic taste.

Our family calls this Milk Gravy & it is a tradition to have with ham & boiled potatoes on Easter. BUT we use bacon grease with the flour & brown as much as you can without burning or "until it smells right". If you don't brown it enough it will have no flavor.
