Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1: Brown the SausageAdd the breakfast sausage to a large skillet over medium heat. Break it into crumbles and cook until fully browned. Do not drain the grease — that’s flavor.
Step 2: Add the FlourSprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage. Stir well so the flour coats the sausage and absorbs the fat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Step 3: Slowly Add the MilkPour in the milk gradually while stirring constantly. This helps prevent lumps and creates a smooth gravy.
Step 4: Simmer Until ThickLet the gravy simmer gently for a few minutes, stirring often. It will thicken as it cooks. If it gets too thick, add a splash of milk.
Step 5: Season and ServeSeason with salt and plenty of black pepper — Southern gravy should be peppery. Serve hot over warm biscuits and sprinkle with parsley if desired.
