Answer 1

Sawmill Gravy

1 pound bulk breakfast sausage
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook sausage in a cast iron skillet. When done, remove sausage from pan and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat. Whisk flour into the fat and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and whisk in milk a little at a time. Return to medium-high heat and stir occasionally while the gravy comes to a simmer and thickens. (Be sure to scrape up any brown bits that might be stuck to the bottom of the pan, that's where the flavor is.) Check seasoning, add crumbled sausage and serve over toast or biscuits.

Old Fashioned Brown Gravy

INGREDIENTS

* 2 tablespoons pan drippings
* 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 1 cup milk
* 1 cup water
* salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Immediately after removing meat from a roasting pan or other pan, drain off the drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons. Sprinkle the flour over drippings; cook and stir over medium heat until brown. Gradually stir in milk, whisking with a fork to scrape up all of the meaty bits from the pan, then gradually whisk in the water. Increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 10 minutes. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.

I'm one of those that doesn't use measurements...can't even guage. But, here are the ingredients and basic instructions for brown gravy. I'll give guestimates.

3 TBSP Cooking Oil
1-2 TBSP Flour
1 C. Water/meat drippings
1 Beef broth cube (optional)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper

Heat cooking oil in a saucepan. Add flour and wisk until light brown. The oil & flour should make a thin "paste". Once it is browned, add the water/meat drippings, beef broth cube (optional), salt, & pepper & stir with wisk until thickened. If the gravy is too thin, mix flour and cold water in a cup & pour slowly into the gravy, as needed.
