Melt butter in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat.

Add the flour to the melted butter and whisk for 1-2 minutes, or until golden.

Turn the heat down to low and add the half and half and All Purpose Seasoning Blend.

Simmer for 3-5 minutes or until gravy has thickened. Taste for seasoning before serving

My Notes

Whether it's a recipe tweak or an inspiration burst — jot it down here.

Maximize Ham Drippings 🍖
Don't discard the browned bits stuck to the pan—deglaze with a splash of broth or wine to dissolve them and intensify your gravy's depth of flavor.
Perfect Your Roux Ratio 🥄
Use equal parts butter and flour (typically 2 tablespoons each per cup of liquid) and cook the roux for 1-2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste while avoiding lumps.
Temper the Half and Half 🥛
Warm your half and half separately before whisking it into the hot roux to prevent curdling and ensure a silky, smooth final texture.
Taste and Season Strategically 👅
Since ham drippings are already salty, add your all-purpose seasoning blend gradually and taste between additions to avoid over-seasoning your gravy.
Achieve Ideal Consistency 🎯
If your gravy is too thick, whisk in additional half and half one tablespoon at a time; if too thin, make a small slurry of flour and cold water and stir it in.
