Description

Delightful French biscuits and gravy bring Southern comfort with a Parisian twist, blending rustic charm and culinary elegance. Crisp, buttery pastry and rich, silky sauce promise a memorable meal you’ll savor down to the last delectable bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Proteins:

  • 1 lb (454 grams) ground pork sausage

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup (40 grams) all-purpose flour
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Liquid and Finishing Ingredients:

  • 3 cups (720 milliliters) milk
  • Biscuits, cooked (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium flame and crumble ground pork sausage, cooking until meat is fully browned and no pink remains, approximately 6-8 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat and sprinkle flour over cooked sausage, stirring thoroughly to coat meat and create a golden roux base.
  3. Slowly stream milk into the skillet, whisking continuously to prevent clumping and ensure smooth texture.
  4. Simmer gravy for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until mixture reaches a thick, velvety consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting flavors to personal preference.
  6. Split freshly baked biscuits in half and arrange on serving plates.
  7. Ladle hot sausage gravy generously over warm biscuits, ensuring each half is completely covered.
  8. Serve immediately while gravy remains hot and biscuits maintain their tender, flaky texture.

Notes

  • Enhance sausage flavor by using a blend of spicy and mild ground pork for complex taste profile.
  • Control gravy thickness by adjusting milk quantity and cooking time, ensuring smooth, velvety texture.
  • Transform recipe gluten-free by substituting wheat flour with cornstarch or almond flour for similar consistency.
  • Elevate breakfast experience by garnishing with fresh chopped chives or cracked black pepper for added depth.
