Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
- 3 cups (710 ml) whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Biscuits, for serving
Instructions:
In a large skillet or frying pan, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat. Break up the sausage into small crumbles using a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour evenly over the sausage in the pan. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Continue stirring until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low.
Cook the gravy for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency. If the gravy becomes too thick, you can add a little more milk to thin it out.
Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Remember that the sausage will already be seasoned, so be cautious with the salt.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the gravy cool for a few minutes before serving.
While the gravy is cooling, bake or warm your biscuits according to the package instructions or your preferred recipe.
To serve, split the biscuits in half and ladle a generous amount of sausage gravy over each biscuit. Enjoy!
Note: If you like your sausage gravy with a bit of heat, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the gravy while cooking.
This recipe should yield about 4-6 servings, depending on the size of your biscuits and the amount of gravy you prefer. Feel free to adjust the quantities based on your needs. Enjoy your biscuits and gravy!
