Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Pork Sausage Bulk breakfast sausage
  • 1/3 cup All-Purpose Flour 42 grams
  • 4 cups Whole Milk 960ml
  • 1 tsp Coarse Black Pepper More for topping
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt To taste
  • 8 large Buttermilk Biscuits Split and warmed

Equipment

  • 1 Large Cast-Iron Skillet Essential for searing.
  • 1 Whisk For a smooth gravy.

Method
 

Sausage Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the pork sausage until cooked through and deeply seared. Use a wooden spoon to break it into small, irregular crumbles.
  2. Do not drain the fat. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage. Stir and cook for 2 minutes until the flour coats the meat and smells toasted.
Gravy Assembly
  1. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Continue to cook over medium heat until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
  2. Stir in the salt and heavy coarse black pepper. Split the warm biscuits and pour the gravy generously over the top.

Notes

Always use whole milk for the best creamy texture.
If the gravy is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time to thin it out.
