Gems Country Gravy Recipe

How to make it

---

• Start by putting the oil in a BIG skillet, I use an iron skillet but you can use any kind.
• Heat the oil on high for a minute or so until hot then turn down the heat to medium and add a little flour.
• Stir real well to get out the lumps,you want this mixture to be a little thick but not real thick.
• If there is too much oil showing add a little more flour.
• If it gets to thick while frying just add a little more oil.
• Fry, stirring almost constantly until mixture gets good and brown but be careful not to burn.
• When you get the mixture browned good start adding the evaporated milk and water (combined before heating the oil) a little at a time.
• Stir and as the gravy starts to boil keep adding the evapoared milk.
• If the gravy is still too thick and you have put in all the evaporated milk and water mixture add some sweet milk until you get a good consistency then let the mixture come to a soft boil and this whole time keep stirring.
• Cook for a couple of minutes with this soft boil then pour into a big serving bowl.
• This will take practice and you may burn a batch or two but the final results will be great tasteing.
• Add salt and pepper to tase after you get the biscuits crumbled in.
• If you think the gravy is still to thick you can add a little milk to thin it out while it is in the serving bowl, just stir very well before serving.
