Ham Gravy

• Ham cooking juices
• 1 stick butter
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, more or less to taste
• 4 to 6 cups whole milk
• Salt and ground pepper
• Biscuits, for serving

1. Into the pan that the ham was cooked in (or use bacon grease if you don't have ham juices), add the butter.
2. Once melted, add 1/4 cup of the flour and whisk to combine.
3. Continue adding flour, whisking constantly, until a smooth paste is achieved.
4. Cook the roux over a medium heat until you get a nice deep golden color, about 3 minutes.
5. Add the milk, whisking the whole time to prevent lumps forming.
6. Cook until thick and season to taste.
7. Serve over biscuits!
