COUNTRY STYLE PEPPERED GRAVY MIX RECIPES

Steps:

• Remove all but 2 tablespoons chicken drippings from skillet. Leave brown particles in skillet. Add flour. Stir on medium heat until browned. Add salt and pepper. Stir in milk.
• Bring to boil. Boil 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add a little more milk, if gravy is too thick, Serve hot, unstrained.
• Tip: Adding a cold liquid to a hot Crisco and flour base, then stirring until it comes to a boil guarantees a smooth sauce. There will be some tasty, crunchy bits in this gravy, however -- the fried particles from the pan.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients well and store in a tightly sealed container.
• To make Gravy: Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the oil used to fry the chicken (or melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter) in a skillet.

• Stir in 1 cup milk and bring all to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer about 5 minutes.
