Why This Recipe Works
Starting this gravy recipe with a flour roux gives the final product the thick and creamy texture we were looking for. Whole milk was the perfect dairy element for our recipe. It provided a silky texture and honest dairy taste. Cutting the milk with chicken broth added a savory element to our Cream Gravy recipe.
