Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (1 lb) breakfast sausage
Thickening Agent:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) all-purpose flour
Dairy:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) milk
Seasonings:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Bread:
- Pillsbury Grands Frozen Biscuits
Instructions
- Sizzle ground sausage in a spacious skillet over medium heat, allowing the meat to develop rich, golden-brown coloration while releasing its natural oils.
- Sprinkle flour across the cooked sausage, thoroughly incorporating and stirring until the white powder completely disappears into the meat’s rendered fat.
- Gradually pour milk into the skillet, whisking continuously to prevent lumps and ensure smooth consistency.
- Enhance the flavor profile with generous pinches of salt and freshly cracked black pepper, adjusting seasoning to personal preference.
- Maintain medium heat, stirring frequently and allowing the mixture to reach a gentle, rolling bubble.
- Reduce temperature to low, continuing to stir as the gravy gradually transforms into a thick, creamy texture that coats the back of a spoon.
- Once the gravy reaches desired consistency, immediately transfer to a serving dish and ladle generously over warm, freshly baked biscuits.
Notes
- Drain some sausage grease if you prefer a lighter gravy, but keeping most helps develop rich, deep flavor.
- Toast flour carefully to prevent raw flour taste and ensure smooth, velvety texture without lumps.
- Whisk milk gradually and consistently to create perfect consistency without clumping or separation.
- Customize by using alternative milks like oat or almond for dairy-free version, or swap pork sausage with turkey sausage for lower-fat option.
