Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups diced cooked ham (about 8 oz)
4 warm buttermilk biscuits (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in milk and cream until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring frequently, until gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in diced ham and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Split warm biscuits in half and place on plates. Spoon ham gravy generously over biscuits. Serve immediately.
Tips
For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika.
Leftover gravy can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of milk.
Use leftover holiday ham or deli ham for convenience.
