Milk Gravy aka Quick White Sauce

Great with chicken and mashed taters!

Takes approx 5-10 mins, yields double what you start with.

2 Tbs Butter/Margarine
1 Cup Milk
2 Tbs Flour
Pepper to taste

Melt butter over low heat.
Add Flour, stir until well blended.
Gradually, little bit at a time, stir in milk.  Cook while stirring constantly until thick & smooth.
Add pepper.

* When I'm feeling impatient I turn up the heat to get it thicker faster, but you also have to stir it faster to keep it from clumping and burning.
** I also double the recipe and toss in chunks of chicken then pour over drop biscuits.

Here there be Recipes!

Okay, well, not yet. But I'm working on it. I have a lot of people ask me for recipes when I mention something I've made, so I thought I'd start a blog and share.  I'll try to include pictures if I can. Not that I'm incapable of adding pictures, but I will add recipes that I haven't made in a while and don't have pictures of yet.

Why "Keytee"?  I get that asked a lot too.  Many years ago I spent a summer traipsing around this side of the US with a girl named Kimber, every one called me Tee. A friends dad once messed us up calling her Timber and me Key. (he actually typed it that way. LOL)...and henceforth I have used Keytee in some form all over the web.
