Southern-Biscuits-and-Sausage-Gravy

  • 2 biscuits
  • 4 ounces fresh pork breakfast sausage
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Cayenne pepper, to taste

1. Place your biscuits on a medium heat skillet and crisp up then remove and set aside.

2. Turn skillet pan to medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the sausage and brown breaking up the sausage, 4 to 5 minutes.

3. Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle the flour into the pan, stirring often for 1 minute.

4. Take off heat and pour in the milk scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the gravy to a light boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. It should look velvety and have the thickness of heavy cream. Season the gravy with salt, black pepper and cayenne.
