Black Pepper Gravy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 cups skim milk
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons ground black pepper, or more to taste

Preparation

Pour milk into a microwave-safe container and heat in a microwave oven until warm, about 2 minutes.
Melt margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and continue cooking until the mixture bubbles, about 5 minutes. Pour milk into the saucepan slowly while whisking. Cook and whisk until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Continue whisking until the gravy comes to a boil, about 3 minutes more. Remove from heat.
