Gravy

Yield varies — thin to the consistency you want

A method page with two pan gravies — a basic brown gravy built from roast-meat drippings, and a fried-chicken milk gravy. Amounts are relative (equal parts fat and flour), then thinned to the consistency you want.

Fried Chicken Gravy

From the family

  • This is a method page, not a fixed recipe — the amounts are relative ("an equal amount of flour," "about 3 tablespoons of the fat," thin to the consistency you want).
  • Yes, the meat list really does say "neighbor's cat" — family humor, left exactly as written.
Read the story

A reference page from the family book covering two everyday pan gravies. It reads as technique rather than a precise recipe: brown an equal amount of flour in the skimmed fat, stir the drippings back in, and thin to taste — water for a roast-meat brown gravy, or half milk and half water (with a bouillon cube if it needs a boost) for fried-chicken gravy.
