Specialty Recipe

Mama's Gravy

Serve this gravy with Back Home Chicken Fried Steak.

Ingredients

Shortening (may be left over from making chicken fried steak)

3 Tablespoons flour

12 ounces water

1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons salt

Pepper

There should be at least 1/2 cup of melted shortening in skillet left over from cooking chicken fried steak. If not, add more. Turn electric skillet up to 400 degrees. Add flour and stir quickly with a fork until it is dissolved. Let it brown at least 5 minutes. The longer it browns, the darker the gravy. Add water and immediately reduce heat to "warm" setting. Gravy will quickly thicken. Add more water to desired consistency.

Add at least 1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons salt or to desired taste. Pepper to taste. Pour over chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes.

Serves: 6
