- ¼ cup flour all purpose
- 1 to 2 cups whole milk adjusted to how thick or thin you like it
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crisp.
- Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
- Gradually add flour to the pan stirring constantly with a whisk. Stir until no lumps remain. Then slowly add one cup milk, continuing to whisk until gravy has thickened. Whisk in additional milk until desired consistency is achieved.
- Serve over biscuits and top with bacon.
Notes
Freeze bacon for 15 minutes to make cutting easier. Or use kitchen shears.
Be sure bacon doesn’t burn!
Keep a close eye on it while it cooks.
Crumble cooked bacon and add to the gravy.
2% and 1% milk will work in this recipe. Try almond or oat milk if dairy isn’t well tolerated.
