  In a cast-iron skillet, heat the bacon drippings or margarine. Add
  the onion and saute until the onions are soft. Whisk in the
  remaining 3/4 cup of A-P flour, stirring until smooth to make a
  roux. Cook the roux for 3 to 5 minutes. Do not allow the roux to
  brown.

  Add the broth, whisking constantly. Whisk in the milk. Heat the
  gravy over low heat until it thickens, stirring constantly. Season
  with salt and pepper to taste.
