White Gravy

White Gravy

Everyday

White gravy is a creamy, savory sauce originating from Southern U.S. cuisine, traditionally made with a roux of pan drippings, flour, and milk. Distinguished from brown gravies by its light color and peppery flavor profile, it achieves a smooth consistency that complements biscuits, fried foods, and mashed potatoes. While providing modest calcium from dairy, this sauce is notably high in saturated fats and carbohydrates, requiring portion awareness in calorie-conscious or gluten-sensitive diets.
