O.k. horse

My moms milk gravy:

start with bacon grease (bits of bacon is a o.k.) Best made in an iron skillet that's at least 50 years old. If not available then any other skillet will do.

make sure the bacon grease is hot and then add a couple of table spoons of flour and stir like crazy into what looks like a dark brown paste. If your rich then slowly add milk and stir like crazy. If you are poor then add 1/2 milk mixture with 1/2 half water and also stir like crazy. This will thicken up after awhile of stirring. This is called "milk gravy". It's a southern staple which is poured over a plate of 1/2 of bisquits pulled apart into bite size pieces vs the rest of the plate of fried potatoes (also fried in bacon grease). Once the whole plate is covered in milk gravy then eat.

Please make sure that I'm the beneficiary of your will!!!! :D
