Thicken Gravy and Add Finishings

What happens here

Gradually pour Great Value 2% Reduced Fat Milk into the roux, stirring continuously with a wooden spatula or whisk. Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken. Continue stirring and breaking up any flour clumps. Once the gravy reaches your desired consistency, add black pepper for color and flavor. Optionally, snip some fresh parsley into the gravy for added freshness and color. Remember that the gravy will thicken further as it cools. Taste and adjust salt if necessary (country ham is usually salty enough).

Goal: Complete the country ham gravy by thickening and seasoning.
