BISCUITS AND HAM GRAVY
Steps:
- Preheat oven for biscuits. In a large skillet, over medium-high heat add oil and ham. Cook ham until it starts to turn a little golden around the edges. Add the flour to the ham and oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly. For our white gravy, we want the roux to have very little color and flavor so 2-3 minutes will be sufficient. At this point you want to add your beef broth in a steady stream while stirring constantly. Add the milk one cup at a time in a steady stream, stirring constantly and stir until thickened before adding the next cup. Once all of the milk is added and the mixture is thickening nicely, it is time to add your spices. Once thickened, serve over biscuits (or hashbrowns).
RED EYE GRAVY
This southern classic is more of a thin sauce than a traditional thick gravy. It's made with strong coffee and drippings from a slice of cooked country ham. Red eye gravy has intense flavor with salty and bitter notes that pair well with biscuits, grits and ham. If you prefer a more mellow flavor, add a dash of brown sugar. -Peggy Woodward, Shullsburg, Wisconsin

Tips:
- Use a good quality ham. The better the ham, the better the gravy will be. Look for a ham that is well-seasoned and has a good amount of fat.
- Make sure the ham is cooked through. The best way to do this is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the ham and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the ham. This will cause the ham to steam instead of brown.
- Make sure the pan is hot before adding the ham. This will help to sear the ham and prevent it from sticking.
- Use a good quality flour to make the gravy. All-purpose flour is a good option, but you can also use bread flour or cake flour. Just be sure to use the same type of flour that you used to coat the ham.
- Don't let the gravy boil. This will cause the gravy to thicken too much and become gluey. Bring the gravy to a simmer and then cook for 1-2 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Season the gravy to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings until the gravy is flavorful.
Conclusion:
Biscuits and ham gravy is a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
