*Mom’s White Gravy is made by melting a stick of butter in a pan, adding enough flour to make it like a thick paste, and then adding milk slowly until it thins to just a bit thinner than the gravy thickness you desire. Heat until it starts to simmer. Flour will thicken back up. Use add’l milk to thin, or melted butter & flour to thicken.
