Cream Based Gravy

This is the recipe I use to make
cream gravy that is just great
to serve along side some fried
chicken, bacon or pork chops.
Try this gravy on French fries
for a Canadian kind of treat.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons bacon drippings
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
dash of salt or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1-1/2 cups cold whole milk

Directions:
Heat a saute pan to medium heat.
Add the flour and stir it
into the grease to make a roux.
Stir and let it cook a bit until
it starts to brown but not blacken.
Pour in all the milk at once and
whisk vigorously to break up the
roux and homogenize it into the milk.
Toss in the salt and pepper to taste.
Use the whisk to deglaze the pan,
by whisking constantly while letting the
thin gravy thicken and come to a boil.
Whisk and boil for another minute.
Test the taste and adjust the seasoning.
