Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 lb (454 grams) ground pork sausage
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup (42 grams) all-purpose flour
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Liquid and Prepared Ingredients:
- 3 cups (710 milliliters) milk
- 8 prepared biscuits
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature and crumble the sausage, cooking until deeply golden and completely rendered.
- Reduce heat to medium and dust the crispy sausage with flour, stirring continuously to coat and prevent burning.
- Slowly pour milk into the skillet, whisking constantly to create a smooth, lump-free base while allowing the mixture to gently simmer and thicken.
- Continue stirring the gravy for 5-7 minutes until it reaches a rich, velvety consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
- Season the gravy with salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting the seasoning to enhance the savory flavors.
- Split warm, golden biscuits in half and generously ladle the creamy sausage gravy over the top, ensuring each biscuit is completely covered with the luxurious sauce.
Notes
- Drain excess grease from sausage to prevent an overly fatty gravy.
- Use whole milk for the richest, most velvety texture in your sauce.
- For a gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Add a pinch of sage or thyme to enhance the sausage’s savory flavor profile.
