This meatless gravy gets a kick from a whole lot of freshly ground black pepper. It's perfect for using in a fountain. Serve with biscuits and browned sausage.

1 cup butter
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
2 quarts milk
1 cup half-and-half (Optional)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring (Optional)

Directions

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and whisk until smooth, at least 2 minutes. Slowly add milk, whisking continuously until mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.
Stir half-and-half into the saucepan; season with salt and pepper. Add liquid smoke. Cook and stir until gravy is smooth and slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes more.

Cook's Note:

If you're using in a fountain, make sure the consistency is slightly runny, not thick.
