White Sauce/Gravy

This is just a simple white sauce that is from the Better Homes and Gardens cook book.  It's what I grew up putting on Biscuits for Biscuits and Gravy.  You can add more flavor or sausage or bacon or whatever you want to it.  I usually do sausage or cut up chunks of meat.

4 Tbls butter
4 Tbls flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
3 Cups Milk

Melt Butter in a saucepan over medium heat.  Stir in flour, salt, and pepper.  Stir in milk immediately.  Cook and stir over medium heat until sauce boils and thickens.  Continue to cook for 1 minute.  Remove from heat and serve.  I usually add the meat right as the sauce is thickening.

Serves 4-6.  Perfect amount of sauce for  THESE biscuits.
