Ingredients

0.25 cup unsalted butter
0.25 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon rubbed sage
0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
0.25 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

In a 4-quart pot or cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Incorporate flour, stirring continuously until a smooth roux paste develops. Continue cooking, while stirring constantly, until the flour achieves a light golden hue, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Gradually add milk, whisking energetically to prevent lumps. Season generously with pepper, salt, sage, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 5 minutes. Avoid boiling.
