I know how to make cream gravy. But I wanted to make sure I had the steps right, so I asked AI to tell it to me. I doubled checked, and the recipe was sound.

A classic cream gravy is a staple in Southern cuisine, often served with biscuits, chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, or other comfort food. Here’s a basic recipe to make your own delicious cream gravy:

Ingredients:
– 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter or pan drippings
– 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
– 1 cup of milk (whole milk preferred for richness)
– Salt, to taste
– Ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Melt the Butter or Use Pan Drippings: In a medium-sized skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. If you’re using pan drippings from cooked meat, heat them until they’re liquid and warm.

2. Whisk in Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter or drippings. Whisk continuously for about 1 minute. This cooks the flour, eliminating its raw taste and forming a roux, which will thicken the gravy.

3. Gradually Add Milk: Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to incorporate it into the roux. This step is crucial to prevent lumps. If you add the milk too quickly, the roux might not mix well with the liquid, resulting in a lumpy gravy.

4. Simmer to Thicken: Once all the milk is added, continue to cook the mixture over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, whisking frequently, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. This usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes.

5. Season: Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for additional flavor.

6. Serve: Once the gravy has thickened and is seasoned to your liking, remove it from the heat. Serve it hot over biscuits, chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, or your choice of dish.

Tips:
– For a richer gravy, you can substitute half of the milk with heavy cream.
– If your gravy is too thick, you can thin it with a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
– For extra flavor, consider adding finely minced onion or garlic to the butter before adding flour, or stir in some cooked, crumbled sausage after the gravy has thickened.

This basic cream gravy recipe is versatile and can be adapted to match the flavors of your dish. Enjoy your cooking!
