Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ pound breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Break up breakfast sausage into small pieces and brown in a pan over medium high heat until fully cooked and there are brown crunchy bits throughout.
- Add butter and allow to melt. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir it around for a minute or two, allowing the fat to absorb the flour and cook the raw flour taste out.
- Stirring constantly, pour in about half of the milk, whisking to make sure the flour is incorporated without lumps. Add in the rest of the milk and allow to simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Pull open a few biscuits and ladle the gravy over top and get down to it! You might even put some eggs and home fries down on the plate and make it a real Southern breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner.

Notes
If the gravy is too thick, add a couple of tablespoons more of whole milk until desired consistency is reached.
If gravy is too thin, simmer a little longer and it will thicken more.
Don't add salt and pepper until your gravy is thickened to your liking. Adding it too soon could result in overly salty gravy.
