Who doesn't love Dolly and when she talked about making her husband, Carl, this milk gravy on The Today Show, I was all over this recipe like, well biscuits and gravy 😏
I make it often, hubby and I love it. Don't leave out the thyme, it's what makes this really special.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2½ cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Biscuits and sausage patties or bacon, for serving
Steps:
In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, thyme and pepper. Gradually whisk in milk and cream until smooth.
Pour the mixture into skillet or saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes, or until thickened.
Serve over biscuits and sausage patties or top with bacon.
And since this an indulgence with whole milk and whipping cream, I do have a healthier version that I fix regularly, sometimes we have it for dinner. I'm a fan of CarbMaster 60 calorie per cup milk from Kroger, but you can use Fairlite or fat free milk as well. Then use Fat Free Half and Half and Jimmy Dean Sausage Crumbles and you really reduce the calories to a more manageable level. I also have a workaround for the biscuits. I toast Sara Lee 45 calorie Delightful Multi Grain Bread and serve the gravy on toast points. Not quite the same as the fully leaded, but still an excellent gravy on toast for a lot less calories.
