For a richer flavor, try using half-and-half or heavy cream instead of some of the milk. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out. For a spicier gravy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the black pepper. This gravy can be made ahead of time and reheated gently over low heat, adding a little milk if needed to restore its creamy consistency. Try adding a pinch of nutmeg for a warm, subtle flavor.
