White Sausage Gravy and Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe
Description
White Sausage Gravy and Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe focuses on making a rich gravy by first browning sausage and using its drippings to create a smooth, thickened sauce with flour and whole milk. The skillet starts with sausage cooked until no longer pink, then reserved to be added back after the gravy is smoothly thickened on medium heat. The seasoning is straightforward, relying on kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the savory base. The gravy is served warm, ladled generously over Southern-style buttermilk biscuits that provide a flaky, tender base absorbing the creamy sauce perfectly. This simple combination is satisfying for a breakfast or brunch setting and highlights the balance of creamy and meaty elements.
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package sausage
- 1/4 /4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 /2 cups milk whole
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 recipe buttermilk biscuits baked, Southern style
Instructions
- Place sausage in a medium, heavy-bottomed skillet. Break apart with a large wooden spoon and cook over medium heat until it crumbles and is no longer pink, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon into a bowl and set aside. Remove all drippings except for about 1 tablespoon from the skillet.
- Whisk in flour into the hot sausage drippings over medium heat until they are smooth.
- Whisk the milk into the flour mixture in the skillet, whisking constantly until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the reserved sausage, salt and pepper.
- Serve warm. Ladle over warm buttermilk biscuit.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 2 cups of gravy, enough for several biscuits.
- Use freshly ground black pepper for best flavor.
- Serve the gravy immediately for optimal texture; it thickens upon standing.
