GRANDMA'S COUNTRY BREAKFAST GRAVY



Grandma's Country Breakfast Gravy image

Are you hankering for the Country Breakfast Gravy like Grandma used to make? Maybe some of you have never tasted REAL homemade gravy over fresh baked biscuits. That stuff they serve at most restaurants these days is usually out of a gallon can, or started from a mix in a bag. You can easily identify it because it has a slightly-gray undertone, kind of like cream of mushroom soup's color and texture. Don't get me wrong - I love cream of mushroom soup. But I wouldn't put it on a biscuit. Give this creamy, rich GRAVY a try. You'll get the hang of it quickly, and pretty soon, as your fame spreads, people will be hounding you to make it for them.

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup sausage drippings (maybe more) or 3/4 cup bacon grease, MELTED (maybe more)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (maybe more)
3 (12 ounce) cans Carnation Evaporated Milk (Cream)
1 cup water (or none, see below)
3 cups whole milk, divided (if using 2% milk omit the 1 cup water above)
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Pour the Evaporated Milk, water and 2 cups of the whole milk into a large bowl; set aside.
  • Heat meat drippings/grease until hot, but not smoking. Slowly stir in the flour a small amount at at time until thoroughly incorporated and no lumps remain - (use a large, long-handled stainless steel cooking SPOON to stir the mixture with). Cook over medium-heat for a few minutes, stirring as needed to keep from burning on bottom. The texture should be a medium-thin paste in thickness; add a bit more flour, or melted grease, if needed, until proper thickness is attained. Cook and stir a few minutes until the rue begins to turn a LIGHT tan color.
  • Pour the cream mixture into the rue, and, using a large WHISK, quickly stir until all the ingredients are blended and no lumps remain. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  • Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often with the stainless steel SPOON, until desired thickness is reached. You may need to add the remaining 1 cup of whole milk it it gets too thick. (Rembember, the gravy will continue to thicken a slight bit as it cools.) Remove from heat; place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the gravy surface to keep a skin from forming if not serving immediately.
  • Note: You may stir in some breakfast sausage, (I use Jimmy Dean Original), that has been cooked and crumbled if desired. Just add this at the very end right before you remove the pan from the heat.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the gravy will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overcook the chocolate. Overcooked chocolate will become grainy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it is melted and smooth.
  • Use whole milk. Whole milk will give the gravy a richer flavor than skim or low-fat milk.
  • Add a little bit of salt. Salt will help to balance the sweetness of the chocolate.
  • Serve the gravy immediately. Chocolate gravy is best when served warm. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently over low heat before serving.

Conclusion:

Chocolate gravy is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to top pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or even fruit. It is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. With these tips, you can make the perfect chocolate gravy every time.
