Cream Gravy

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons pan drippings (from bacon)
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste

Heat drippings in skillet, add flour continuously stirring, cook on medium for a couple of minutes until a dark roux is formed.
Add milk slowly to skillet, and mix with roux using either a whisk or wooden spoon (be sure and press out any lumps).
Turn heat to low and continue stirring until mixture is thickened, a couple more minutes. Add pepper and salt to taste.
 If gravy is too thick for your taste, you can thin it by adding either more milk or water a tablespoon at a time.
Goes great with 7UP Biscuits, Crunchy Cajun Oven Fried Chicken, and Bisquick Breaded Porkchops.

You can substitute vegetable oil for the pan drippings, but honestly, it isn't as delicious.  The grease from turkey bacon is also acceptable.
