Soft dough biscuits covered in a savory meat gravy.

35 minutes
Serves 3
Breakfast

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bake the buttermilk biscuits according to recipe or package directions until golden and puffed. Keep them warm.

  2. 2

    In a large cast-iron skillet, cook the pork sausage over medium-high heat. Break it into fine crumbles with a wooden spoon and cook for 6-8 minutes until completely browned. Do not drain the fat.

  3. 3

    Sprinkle the flour evenly over the cooked sausage and fat. Stir continuously for 2 minutes to cook the raw flour taste out, creating a savory roux.

  4. 4

    Gradually pour in the whole milk, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

  5. 5

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the gravy is thick and coats the back of a spoon. Season generously with black pepper, salt, and cayenne.

  6. 6

    Split the warm biscuits in half horizontally, place on a plate, and ladle the rich, peppery sausage gravy generously over the top. Serve immediately.
