Sausage Gravy
1
Place sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break up with a wooden spoon until brown.
2
Drain all the fat except 1/4 cup. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour evenly over the browned sausage and the rendered fat in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or spatula, for 1-2 minutes.
3
Gradually pour in 2.5 cups of the cold milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Start with a small amount of milk to form a smooth paste with the roux, then slowly add the rest.
4
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, continuing to whisk occasionally. As it heats, the gravy will begin to thicken. This usually takes about 5-8 minutes.
5
Stir in the black pepper, salt, and optional pinch of cayenne pepper.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Cold Butter is Key to Flaky Biscuits 🧈Cut cold butter into small cubes and keep it chilled until folding into the Bisquik mix—this creates steam pockets that produce those coveted flaky layers.
- Brown the Sausage Properly for Depth 🍖Don't rush browning the sausage; let it develop a deep golden crust over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes before breaking it up, which builds rich, complex flavor for the gravy.
- Create a Perfect Roux Base 🥄After browning sausage, sprinkle flour evenly over the meat and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste and create a smooth, lump-free gravy foundation.
- Temper Your Dairy to Prevent Breaking 🥛Warm the milk slightly before slowly whisking it into your hot roux to prevent lumps and ensure a silky, creamy gravy that won't break or separate.
- Season in Layers for Bold Flavor 🌶️Add cayenne pepper and garlic powder to the sausage while browning, then taste and adjust seasonings after adding milk—layering spices creates complexity that simple final seasoning cannot achieve.
