  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the gravy

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add flour and whisk together for about 1 minute.
  • Add in the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn and stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • If the gravy become too thick, add a splash of milk and whisk it together to thin it out to your liking. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
