country gravy
Sausage-flecked white sauce
Country gravy is a thick, creamy white sauce made from pan drippings, flour, and milk, seasoned with black pepper.
It originated in the American South as a way to stretch meat drippings into a filling accompaniment.
The gravy is most associated with biscuits and gravy, a classic Southern breakfast, but also tops chicken-fried steak and other comfort foods.
Nothing beats hot biscuits smothered in country gravy.
