Step 1 - Heat a pan to med heat then add and melt butter .

Step 2 -  Drop the heat to med low(about 4 out of 10 if you have numbers) and add the flour to melted butter - stiring continuously for at least 2-3  mins.  Your are cooking and browning the flour at this point.  It will make the flour taste better.  It will look like a paste for a few minnutes but will thin out as it browns and that's what you are wanting to happen before step 3.

Step 3 - Set heat back to 4.5 to 5 depending on your stove top.   Slowly add in your milk about 1/4 to 1/3 cup at a time wihile stirring the mixture until smothed each time before add the next 1/4 to 1/3 cup of stock.  This smothing prosses will acutully give you a gravey faster and less lump than pouring it all in at once.  It will also speed up the thikening prosses as a whole.  Countinue this process untill all milk is in and it is the desired thickness.

Note: Test to make sure its ready first by dipping a spoon in the gravey and running you finger across the back of a spoon(without burning yourself).  If the gravey does not run into the spaced wiped clean from your finger, it is ready and will cool to thicken up in 5 mins or less off the heat.  This is great on biscuits and fried chicken.
