White gravy, a popular condiment in southern American cuisine, is a creamy sauce made from flour, milk and fat, usually butter. Although it is typically referred to as white gravy, it can also be known by a variety of names depending on the region. In some parts of the country, this sauce is called milk gravy or country gravy. Others may refer to it as sawmill gravy or biscuit gravy. There are even regional variations, such as red-eye gravy, which includes pan drippings and coffee. Whatever the name, this flavorful sauce is the perfect accompaniment to dishes like fried chicken, biscuits and mashed potatoes.
