There's no breakfast I hold closer to my heart then a good southern sausage gravy and biscuits and this recipe is my go-to. A simple light gravy full of flavor from the sausage pairs perfectly with warm, flaky biscuits.
The Biscuits
Bake according to the package directions...
- 6 frozen buttermilk biscuits
Brown the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, break up and cook until browned completely...
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
Make the Gravy
Sprinkle evenly over the browned sausage...
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Stir constantly for 1–2 minutes. You want the flour to coat the meat and cook slightly to lose its raw taste, but don't let it burn.
Starting with just a splash to deglaze the pan, gradually whisk in...
- 3 cups whole milk
Season with...
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Salt (to taste)
Note: Go light on the salt at first, since the sausage is already seasoned. You can always add more at the end.
Simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until the gravy is glossy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, but still easy to pour.
Serve
Split the warm biscuits in half and ladle the hot gravy generously over the top. Serve right away.
