Tomato Gravy Recipe

Ingredients

* 2 medium tomatoes or one 14.5 oz can of stewed tomatoes, drained
* 1/2 to 3/4 cup of self-rising flour, sifted
* 3/4 to 1 cup of milk or warm water, or part of both
* salt & pepper (optional)
* 1/4 to 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Directions

Preheat medium skillet at medium heat.
Dice the tomatoes.
Add oil, and heat oil until very hot.
Add flour to heated oil very slowly, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Slowly add in the milk, whisking constantly.
Add in the tomatoes slowly when the gravy\'s desired thickness has been reached. Reduce heat.
If using fresh tomatoes, simmer the gravy for 10-15 minutes, until tomatoes are tender.
If using canned tomatoes, just allow the sauce to come to the appropriate heat.
Stir constantly to prevent lumping or sticking.
Once the gravy is done, remove it from the heat. You can allow the gravy to cool or use it right away.
