Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 0.25 cups Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully liquefied.
Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter, whisking constantly to form a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously, to avoid any raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking to ensure a lump-free mixture. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency, season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the peas to heat through and soften slightly.
If desired, sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and fully incorporated into the sauce.
Remove the pan from heat and serve immediately over biscuits, mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or vegetables.
