Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 3 tablespoons bacon drippings

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 ⅔ cups buttermilk, or more as needed

  • ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon granules

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Heat bacon drippings in a skillet over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until well combined and bubbly, about 1 minute. Pour in buttermilk gradually and bring to a boil, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.

  2. Stir in chicken bouillon, salt, and pepper. If gravy is too thick, whisk in more buttermilk until you reach your desired consistency. Serve immediately.
