Ingredients
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon optional cayenne pepper
- 8 pieces ready-made or homemade biscuits
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, crumble the pork sausage and cook over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Once the sausage is cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a plate, leaving the rendered sausage fat in the skillet.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Step 4
Whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, until it is lightly golden and smells nutty.
Step 5
Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth mixture. Continue cooking and whisking until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 7
Return the cooked sausage to the gravy, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 3-5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Step 8
While the gravy simmers, heat or bake the biscuits according to package instructions (or prepare homemade biscuits if making from scratch).
Step 9
Split the biscuits in half and ladle the sausage gravy generously over each biscuit half. Serve immediately for a warm and comforting meal.
