Southern Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

Southern Biscuits and Sausage Gravy is probably the most quintessential breakfast comfort food of all time.  Making the biscuits from scratch is the secret to biscuits and gravy perfection.  And then the rest of just gravy.  Dang good gravy.

Instructions

Do Ahead

  1. Make a batch of Southern Biscuits (click for complete recipe). 
  2. In a large skillet, cook the sausage. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and set aside. Wipe out the skillet.
  3. Add the grease (or butter) to the skillet over medium heat. Once hot, stir in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often.
  4. Whisk in the milk and the cream, whisking continuously until no lumps appear. Stir with a wooden spoon until starting to thicken, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  5. Add the salt, seasoning, and pepper, and then the cooked sausage (See NOTES).
  6. Taste and add more salt, if desired.
  7. Pour the sausage gravy over the warm biscuits and serve at once.

  • If you don't have self-rising flour, use this formula: For every cup of self-rising flour, substitute one cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon baking soda.
  • We usually add about ¾ (12 ounces) of the cooked sausage to the gravy and save the rest for another use. We like that ratio of cream to sausage. However, if you prefer more sausage, then add all of it to the gravy. 
  • The biscuits can be made 1 to 2 days in advance. Gently reheat in the microwave when ready to serve. Store in a covered container. 
  • Leftover gravy will keep covered in the fridge for up to 5 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
