Milk Gravy
Standard –
Gravy should have a
glossy appearance and a smooth texture throughout. There should be a pleasing flavor with no
suggestion of a raw starch taste.
Recipe -
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh
ground pepper
Directions –
Melt butter in a
saucepan over low heat. Remove from
heat. Add in flour, salt and pepper and
whisk until smooth. Add milk slowly to
make a smooth paste and then whisk in rest of the milk. Return to heat and cook whisking constantly,
until sauce has boiled gently for 30 seconds.
Hold sauce by covering saucepan or stirring constantly.
