Instruction:

  1. With your finger, tear small pieces of sausage and add them in a single layer to a large heavy skillet. Brown the sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up, then add more little by little. Stir it around and cook it for another minute or so, then pour in the milk, stirring constantly.
  2. Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 10 to 12 minutes.) Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue cooking until very thick and luscious. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in another 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  3. Spoon the sausage gravy over warm biscuits and serve immediately!

FAQ

What is biscuits and gravy gravy made of?

Biscuits and gravy is a popular breakfast dish in the United States, especially in the South. The dish consists of soft dough biscuits covered in white gravy (sawmill gravy), made from the drippings of cooked pork sausage, flour, milk, and often (but not always) bits of sausage, bacon, ground beef, or other meat.

What is the secret to the best biscuit?

The secret to excellent biscuits is COLD BUTTER. Really cold. Many times the biscuit dough gets worked so much that the butter softens before the biscuits even go in the oven. Try cutting the butter into small pieces and stick back in the fridge pulling out only when ready to incorporate into the dough.

Is country gravy the same as sausage gravy?

What is the difference between homemade country gravy and sausage gravy? These are both very similar but country gravy is made without meat and of course, sausage gravy has ground sausage and is sometimes known as sawmill gravy.

What is the American version of biscuits and gravy?

You’ll find biscuits and gravy on any good Southern breakfast menu. This breakfast combo melds together an American adaptation on a French roux-based white sauce with a quick-bread that has been a staple in American kitchens since those kitchens were open-air fire pits.
