Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage, break into pieces, and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir continuously for 1 minute until golden.
    1 pound breakfast sausage
  • Slowly whisk in milk until silky smooth. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately over warm biscuits.
    2 cups milk, 0.25 teaspoon salt

Notes

I found that browning the sausage one minute longer gave a richer nutty taste.
Whisking in milk gradually prevented lumps and created a glossy texture.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat gently over low heat.
