Step 1

In a large skillet, cast iron preferred, heat the Butter (60 g) over medium heat until melted. Stir in the All-Purpose Flour (40 g) .

Step 2

With a fork or whisk, cook and stir until bubbly and smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not burn the flour. You want it to be slightly brown and smell "toasty".

Step 3

Pour the liquid from the Canned Whole Peeled Tomatoes (795 g) into the grease and flour mixture. Whisk until thick and smooth.

Step 4

Crush the tomatoes (by hand) into the gravy mixture, adding all of the liquid. Add the Ground Black Pepper (1 g) and Salt (2 g) .

Step 5

Continue to stir. Add Water (240 mL) if needed. Reduce heat, cook and stir until the tomato gravy has reached desired consistency.

Step 6

Serve hot over warm buttermilk biscuits, rice, or grits. Enjoy!
