For an even richer flavor, consider using a combination of bacon fat and butter. Be patient with the roux. The nutty flavor develops as it browns, but be careful not to burn it. Room temperature milk is crucial for preventing lumps. If you forget to take it out ahead of time, gently warm it in the microwave. If your gravy does develop lumps, whisk vigorously or use an immersion blender to smooth it out. Adjust the amount of pepper to your liking. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also add a subtle kick.
