Cream gravy is characterized by its rich, savory, and creamy flavor profile.
The primary flavor notes come from rendered fat (typically from bacon, sausage, or butter), flour (which adds a subtle, cooked-wheat flavor), milk or cream (providing richness and sweetness), and seasonings such as salt, black pepper, and sometimes garlic or onion powder. The type of fat used greatly impacts the overall taste; bacon gravy will have a smoky, salty flavor, while sausage gravy will be heartier and slightly spicy.

Browning the Flour
Properly browning the flour in the fat is crucial. It adds a nutty flavor and ensures the gravy thickens properly without a raw flour taste. Be careful not to burn the flour, as it will impart a bitter flavor.
Slow Addition of Liquid
Gradually whisk in the milk or cream to prevent lumps from forming. Adding it slowly allows the flour to properly absorb the liquid, resulting in a smooth and consistent gravy.
Seasoning to Taste
Season generously with salt and pepper, adjusting to your preference. Remember that the fat (especially bacon or sausage) may already contribute saltiness, so taste as you go.
Temperature Control
Maintain a medium-low heat throughout the cooking process to prevent scorching and ensure even thickening.
