Simple and easy to prepare, white milk gravy has been a mealtime favorite for centuries. It has always provided a hot and satisfying meal even when other food rations such as meats and vegetables were scarce. Our recipe uses unbleached and whole wheat flours to accurately reproduce a taste and texture as would have been found in mid-nineteenth-century America. A warm bowl of white milk gravy is a versatile dish to compliment any table setting or can be served over hot biscuits or toast as a meal in itself.
