Ingredients
- 4 buttermilk biscuits
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 tablespoon butter salted
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/8 teaspoon thyme ground
- 1/8 teaspoon basil ground
- pinch red pepper flakes
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, fry the sausage until browned. Drain most of the grease, leaving 2-3 tablespoons left in the pan.
- Add in the butter and melt. Sprinkle the flour over top, then fry, stirring, until the butter is lightly browned and smells nutty.
- Slowly stir in the milk, stirring to ensure that the flour doesn't clump. Once added, stir in the cream and the spices.
- Cook on medium-low, stirring often, for several minutes until thickened.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove and spoon over warm biscuits to serve. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
