Ingredients

• 1 pound Pork breakfast sausage
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra spice)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, cook the pork sausage over medium heat. Break it up into crumbles with a spatula as it cooks, ensuring it browns evenly. Cook until the sausage is fully browned, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 2

Once the sausage is browned, reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the cooked sausage. Stir well to coat the sausage in the flour, allowing the mixture to cook for 1-2 minutes. This step helps eliminate the raw taste of the flour.

Step 3

Slowly pour the whole milk into the skillet, stirring constantly to combine the sausage and flour mixture with the milk. Start with 2 cups and add more milk later if needed for desired consistency.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium and continue stirring as the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. The gravy will begin to thicken after 3-5 minutes. If it becomes too thick, add additional milk, 1/4 cup at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Once the gravy has thickened, stir in the salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 6

Turn off the heat and serve the sausage gravy immediately over warm, freshly baked biscuits. Garnish with additional black pepper, if desired.
