A country-style gravy—sometimes called a white gravy—is really just a pan sauce made from the drippings in a skillet after cooking meat. It’s most often made with milk that’s thickened by making a roux—cooking flour into the remaining fat in the pan. But another method is to make a slurry of milk or broth with the flour whisked in (or shaken with the liquid, like grandmas used to do) until it’s smooth. The slurry is stirred into the hot pan drippings and is cooked until thickened.

Seasoning well is essential. Be sure to taste for salt once the gravy is as thick as you’d like, then add some freshly ground pepper for a little warm spiciness.

The trick to smooth, creamy gravy is to use a wire whisk when adding the flour to the drippings.  Beat the drippings rapidly with the whisk while adding the flour to avoid lumps.
