Ingredients
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pounds pork sausage (see note 1)
- 4 cups whole milk
- 8 Biscuits for serving (see note 2)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine flour, fennel, sage, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Break up any clumps with a wooden spoon and do not drain.
- Sprinkle flour mixture over sausage and cook, stirring constantly, until flour has been absorbed, about 1 minute.
- Slowly stir in milk and simmer until gravy has thickened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt to taste (I like 1 teaspoon). Serve over split biscuits.

Notes
- Sausage: Look for unseasoned pork sausage; you'll be adding your own seasonings.
- Biscuits: Buttermilk Biscuits, 3-Ingredient Homemade Biscuits, or even store-bought biscuits. I also have a tutorial on the best biscuit cutters if you bake often.
- Yield: This recipe makes 5 cups gravy, enough for 8 generous servings of a heaping 1/2 cup gravy. It's enough gravy for 8 biscuits.
- Storage: Transfer leftover gravy to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in a saucepan on your stovetop, thinning with milk if the gravy appears too thick.
- Freezer: The gravy is best made to order, the day you need it.
