Biscuits and Gravy
Description
This recipe involves cooking breakfast sausage in its fat until browned, then sprinkling flour directly onto it to form a roux-like base for the gravy. Milk is stirred in gradually, allowing the mixture to thicken over several minutes while developing a smooth texture. The addition of maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness, balanced by the optional fresh sage that complements the sausage’s savory flavor.
The gravy is seasoned with salt and pepper to taste and poured warm over freshly baked or store-bought biscuits. The biscuits provide a soft, flaky base that soaks up the creamy sauce, creating a rich and satisfying dish.
Biscuits and Gravy are best served hot and can be an indulgent breakfast or brunch option. Adjusting the milk quantity can modify the gravy’s thickness to preference.
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk whole
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon sage optional, minced, fresh
- salt to taste, kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, kosher salt and freshly ground
- Biscuits or store-bought biscuits, homemade
Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink. Break up any big pieces of sausage with the spoon. Don't drain the grease off of the sausage.
- Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the sausage and stir until the sausage absorbs the flour. Pour in the milk, stirring constantly.
- Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add maple syrup and sage, if using. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve the gravy over warm biscuits.
Notes
- If the gravy is too thick, gradually add up to 1/2 cup more milk to adjust the consistency without diluting flavor.
