Mix flour and water until smooth and no lumps. Put into medium sauce pan,
and heat over medium-high heat until the mixture boils. Reduce heat,
stirring constanly, and boil for 4 – 5 minutes. Mixture should be very
think and blubbery. Add milk and stir until the mixture is smooth again.
Add spices, and return to boil, cooking until it has the consistancy of
thick gravy.
Serve over split baking powder biscuits, with fruit (whole-berry cranberry
sauce was *great* with this dish!), grits, red beans & rice, toast & jam,
etc.
Makes enough for about 4 biscuits.
