White Gravy is a simple 20-minute gravy made from milk. Add some green peas, and it is tasty over fish, or chicken. Or add sausage and more pepper for old-fashioned sausage gravy.

White Gravy (AKA "Milk Gravy") - a versatile gravy you should learn to make

When my mom made Salmon Patties or a Salmon Loaf for supper, she always made White Gravy with Green Peas, which was really a milk gravy with peas in it.

My Southern husband, Don, makes an amazing Sausage Gravy made similarly. It's made exactly the same way, except you fry ground sausage, drain some of the fat off, and make the white gravy with the drippings. Add the sausage back in, season with salt and pepper, and eat over biscuits. Good ole "country gravy."

What You Need

For this recipe, you will need measuring cups and spoons, a medium pan, and a whisk. Do yourself a favor and buy a great set of pans.
