HEALTHIER SOUTHERN WHITE GRAVY

Southern white gravy is a basic white sauce using bacon lard, or sausage grease, instead of butter.

¼ cup shortening (lard or sausage grease)
¼ cup flour
1 pint milk
½ teaspoon salt

Using butter, as it is less “solid,” is a first step to health:

¼ cup butter
¼ cup flour
1 pint milk
½ teaspoon salt

Using olive oils is even healthier:

3 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup flour
1 pint milk
½ teaspoon salt

Serves: 4

1. Heat grease until fairly hot. Slowly add flour, stirring until smooth and well mixed. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
2. Gradually add milk, stirring fast each time until sauce thickens. Simmer for 2 minutes if using corn starch, 5 minutes if using wheat flour, stirring continuously.
