Ingredients
- 1 lb pork breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the flour is absorbed.
- Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Increase heat to medium and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Cook, stirring often, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne if using. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Remove from heat. Serve immediately over warm biscuits.
Tips
- For best results, use whole milk; lower-fat milk may result in a thinner gravy.
- Leftover gravy can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed.
- To make ahead, prepare the gravy, let cool, and refrigerate. Reheat and stir in a little milk to loosen before serving.
