Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

• 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits or 8 homemade biscuits
• 1 lb pork breakfast sausage
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups whole milk
• 1 tsp black pepper
• salt to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven and bake buttermilk biscuits according to package directions or your favorite recipe. Keep warm.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon. Cook until fully browned.

3. 3

   Do NOT drain the fat. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and fat. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour is absorbed and smells nutty.

4. 4

   Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps.

5. 5

   Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until the gravy has thickened, stirring occasionally.

6. 6

   Season generously with plenty of black pepper and salt to taste.

   Split warm biscuits in half and ladle hot gravy over the top.
