Step 1
Dice tomatoes and gently mash to release some juice. If you are using fresh tomatoes and they do not have a lot of juice, you may need to add 1/4 cup of water with the tomatoes. This will keep the tomatoes from sticking and make stirring everything easier. Set aside.
Step 2
Add oil to a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in flour and whisk until smooth for about 2-3 minutes or until the flour turns a light brown. Add 1/2 cup of water to the flour mixture and stir until smooth. It will thicken immediately, so be prepared to add tomatoes (and juice) quickly.
Step 3
Break up the tomatoes with the spoon while stirring. Add the seasonings. Stir well.
Step 4
Slowly add milk while stirring continuously. Reduce heat and simmer for about 5-10 minutes or until desired consistency. Add more milk or water if the gravy is too thick to your liking.
Step 5
Enjoy over hot biscuits.
