1. Gather all ingredients.

   

2. Melt bacon fat in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper. Cook, whisking continuously until the roux becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 10 minutes.

   

   

3. Gradually whisk 4 cups of milk into the flour mixture, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

   

4. Cook and stir until gravy is heated through and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes, adding more milk if gravy is too thick.

   

5. Serve hot on a biscuit.

   

Editor’s Note:

The original recipe called for 1/2 cup vegetable oil. After reviewing feedback, we opted to use bacon fat in our video and ingredient list to add a little more flavor. You can use vegetable oil or butter if preferred.
