Cooking Instructions
Make the Roux
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is golden brown and bubbling.
Add Milk and Seasonings
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture is smooth. Then, add the black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
Thicken the Gravy
Keep the heat on medium and continue to cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-10 minutes.
Serve
Once thickened, remove from heat and serve hot over biscuits, mashed potatoes, or your favorite dishes.
