Hi, I'm Caren....Welcome to my channel. Our kids are all grown and gone and my husband and I spend most of our time these days trying to earn the approval and affections of our feral rescue cats, Richard and Baby Girl (still in the early stages of working on Hyacinth). You know what they say, "Dogs have masters and cats have slaves." Truer words have never been spoken!
Thanks for watching ~ Caren
This is perfect! Thank you for filming in real-time!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Merry Christmas!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING YOUR FABULOUS RECIPE AND DIRECTIONS UNDERNEATH SO WE CAN HAVE THEM FOR LATER THANK YOU
CC - You know what makes this gravy so mouth watering? The love and care you put into it. Good gravy requires a patient cook/chef - and you reflected that in this awesome tutorial.
Felt like I was in the kitchen with you and smell the gravy goodness! YUM!
Thank you so much for watching and for your sweet comment!! Caren
I'd use a rubber spatula for stirring in a stainless steel or any pan
I prefer wooden spoon in most pans but I use whisk for my gravy just to whisk away any lumps. I sometimes use a silicone whisk if the pan has nonstick coating but I try not to use nonstick if I can help it. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!

First time watching. Great video!
I grew up on salt and pepper gravy as we called it way back then.
Thanks for posting this recipe, even though I am several years late to watching it.
When I was little, all I ever wanted for breakfast was biscuits and gravy.......nothing else. Now that I am grown, I still love biscuits and gravy, but I also want everything else....bacon, hash browns, eggs etc.....lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
@@ccjohnson6798 Wow, fast reply, Thank you. Any chance you will start doing videos again? Most recent I seen was a year ago.
Good ratio
Will help those who never know the exact amounts
My family never knew exactly
I learned by trial /error but having ratio
great
I always watched my mother try to wing it and I never had a clue there was an actual ratio that works every time...LOL. I was probably in my 30s before I read a recipe out of her main cookbook that had the exact measurements. I am a very slow learner and apparently I get that from my mother...haha! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
Normally I just use bacon grease thought I could do it with turkey bacon but nope Haha little to no fat so deffently gonna try this next
Thank you so much for posting this step by step on how to make gravy! I’ve tried several times on my own (and thru other tutorials) to make gravy and this was the first time it actually came out right! New subbie here. 👍🏼
This comment made my day.....I remember when I first made gravy that came out right...it's all in the ratios. Once I learned the 2 tbsp (fat), 2 tbsp (flour), per 1 cup (liquid), it has always come out perfectly. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! Caren
Ditto!
Thank you so much it turned out delicious awesome
I'm so glad to hear that. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! Caren
Thanks!

LOL! Thanks for watching and commenting!! Caren
THANKS FOR EXPLAINING AS YOU GO
Thank you so much for watching all these videos!! You made my day with your comments! Caren
I know this is a stupid question but does it matter what flour you use?? All purpose or self rising??
I used all purpose, but I don't think it would hurt to use the self rising if that's all you have. The only difference would be the salt and baking powder in the self rising. Just be careful when you season your gravy that you taste it before you add salt so it doesn't get too salty. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Caren
Thank u!!! I have tried and tried to make gravy with both and never got it right so now thank u for sharing this video!!!!
You bet.....it's all about the ratio....2 tbsp fat, 2 tblsp flour to each 1 cup of liquid.....if you always stick to that, it will never fail ;)
@@ccjohnson6798 Thank u!!
Try adding some ranch dressing.
i'm gonna call it Butter Milk Curry
Would you recommend freezing leftover gravy?
I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply....I have never had leftovers of gravy so I have never frozen it, but I am going to find out here in the next few hours. I will try it and let you know as soon as it is frozen.....so I will be getting back to you on this. Thanks for watching and commenting! Caren
OK...I made some gravy yesterday and froze it overnight. I put it in a pan over medium hit to bring it back and it was fine, if anything it was a little thicker, so I added a tablespoon of milk at a time until I got it to my desired consistency. Just be sure and whisk it or stir constantly so it doesn't burn. Thanks again for watching! Caren
Thank you for your recipe blessings
Does it matter what kind of milk, 1%,2%, whole milk?
You can use any kind of milk.....or any other liquid you like....it's all in the ratio of 2 Tbsp fat, 2 Tbsp flour to each 1 cup liquid. I usually have skim or 1% milk on hand so that's what I usually use. You could make gravy for chicken or turkey by using chicken broth instead of milk. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! Caren
Okay great thank you! I usually just have 1% too but some people swear on whole milk which I can bare to drink 😂
I was raised on skim milk, so whenever I see whole milk it grosses me out because it is so thick. But honestly, I am not crazy about milk anyway.....so I usually just have it around for my husband and cooking or baking.
No
Does it matter what kind of milk you use, whole milk, 2%?
I've used every kind including skim milk.....it always works. The key is the ratios. You could even use chicken stock (or beef) to make gravy for a dinner meal over meat and potatoes.
@@ccjohnson6798 ok thanks!
My gravy never thickens it just stays milk no matter what i do
Let me know if you try it using the 2-2-1 ratio, ever since I learned it I have never had a problem with it. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! Caren
what type of flour
I use all purpose flour. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Caren
@@ccjohnson6798 thanks
@@ccjohnson6798 gravy tastes likes eggs and it is 2 thick where did i went wrong
You just used a full stick of butter that's 8 tbls of butter
That was half of a stick, which is 4 Tablespoons. Thanks for watching and commenting.
First let me say I'm not much of a cook. Watching this video it look like gravy is just thickened milk with some butter, salt and peeper. So It's really just a white sauce.
Yes, it is......if you want it a little browner just let the butter/flour mixture cook a little longer til it gets browner. You can also use bacon grease instead of butter for even more flavor. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Caren
6 minutes is a long video for gravy.
Normally I just use bacon grease thought I could do it with turkey bacon but nope Haha little to no fat so deffently gonna try this next
I love it made with bacon grease.......I just don't make bacon very often and you are right about the turkey bacon...that's what my husband usually eats. LOL..... Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
