Dolly Parton's Milk Gravy is a cherished symbol of Southern hospitality and comfort food. Known for its creamy, savory texture, this gravy is often served alongside fluffy biscuits, making it a quintessential breakfast dish that warms the heart and soul.
Ingredients
Scale:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
2 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for a creamier texture)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
In a medium-sized skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat until it foams and sizzles for about 1-2 minutes.
Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden brown.
Gradually pour in 2 cups of whole milk while whisking to avoid lumps, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Add salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting seasonings as preferred.
Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it reaches your desired thickness.
Serve hot over freshly baked Southern-style biscuits.
