White Gravy

2 Tablespoons butter (or canola oil)
1 ½ - 2 tablespoonns plain white flour
Blend flour with 1 cup milk and
¼ teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Heat butter or canola in fry pan. Pour in blended milk, salt, pepper, flour.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat when mixture is smooth, no lumps.(It is usually enough to just bring it to a boil.) The southern way is to use bacon grease (not healthy, but tasty). You may substitute part stock for some of the milk. You may also use cream.
