Your friend is right.  A few tablespoons (maybe 3-4) of drippings, fat
included.  Stir in an equal part of flour and stir, stir, stir.  Use a wire
whisk if you need to, over medium heat.Add about 1/2 teaspoon salt.  When
smooth and lightly brown, add milk, stirring like crazy, until thick, cooking
over medium heat.  Gravy is one of those things that was never meant to be low
fat.  Use the fatty drippings and use whole milk.  The trick, I've found, is
to be sure to add plenty of salt.  It just isn't good if it's not salty
enough.  Good luck.
