Equipment

  • 1 Deep sided pan
  • 1 Baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound Breakfast sausage Can omit for meatless gravy
  • 1/3 Cup AP Flour
  • 4 Cups Whole Milk
  • 2 Teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 2 Teaspoons Salt

Instructions
 

  • Cook the biscuits according to package directions, I personally like to take them a little longer so they hold up better when doused with gravy
  • While biscuits are cooking, cook the sausage in the pan until done and crumbly on a 6/10 heat.
  • Sprinkle half of the flour on the meat and stir to combine, when you can't see white anymore add the rest of the flour and combine
  • To speed up the process you can turn up the heat to 7/10 but be careful not to walk away as the milk can burn in the next step
  • Slowly add in all of the milk, stirring constantly to combine.
  • Add salt and pepper and never stop stirring
  • When it starts to bubble it will begin to thicken quickly, turn down or even off the heat and continue stirring. When it reaches your desired thickness remove and serve over halved biscuits
  • If the gravy gets too thick after 10 minutes or so add small splashes of milk until it loosens up. If you find that after 10 minutes of bubbling it's still too thin, add small amounts of flour (like a teaspoon at a time) until it thickens up.
