Country Gravy

Question this time from our Muse, Finley.
"A question for you, if you please- have you ever cooked a white gravy, say for biscuits or chicken-fried meats various and sundry?"

Yes.

4 tablespoons of flour
1.5 cups whole milk
3 tablespoons of fried chicken drippings
fresh cracked pepper (don't be stingy)
1 teaspoon salt

Mix half the milk and flour (and salt and pepper) in a jar before hand and shake it really well. DO NOT WHISK!
Put this mixture in a skillet, already warm with drippings from fried chicken. Stir in the other half of the milk over medium heat until it bubbles, then about 1 and a half minutes after that. Stir the whole time.
Optional: a dash of onion powder. That's the secret ingredient, usually. Makes 1.5 cups of gravy.
