Buttermilk Gravy

Buttermilk Gravy delivers a tangy, peppery richness balanced by smoky bacon drippings, perfect for spooning over biscuits and sausage. It’s velvety, comforting, and versatile enough to pair with fried chicken, pork chops, or a pile of hot fries. Serve it when you want a down-home, satisfying touch at breakfast, brunch, or dinner.

Buttermilk Gravy
  1. 1

    Warm the bacon drippings in a skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until blended and bubbling, about 1 minute. Gradually pour in the buttermilk and bring it to a boil, about 3 minutes. Lower the heat and simmer, whisking nonstop, until thick and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper. If the gravy is too thick, whisk in more buttermilk until it reaches your preferred consistency. Serve right away.
