Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup
- All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup
- Milk
- 2 cups, whole milk recommended
- Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until bubbly.
- Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter and whisk continuously until the mixture is smooth and golden, about 1-2 minutes. This is called a roux.
- Gradually pour in the whole milk while whisking vigorously to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until fully combined.
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to integrate all the flavors.
- Continue cooking the gravy over medium heat, stirring consistently, until it thickens to your desired consistency, around 5-7 minutes. Remember, the gravy will thicken more as it cools.
