This is a truly traditional Southern style biscuits and gravy. But that does not mean that it is difficult to make. A Southern style gravy is truly filling and is one for the ages. The biscuits are perfect – they are flaky, moist and perfect for soaking up gravy.
If you are not a fan of the sausage taste, then you can swap it out for chicken, turkey or even beef. But then, you will no longer have a true Southern style biscuit gravy.
This is one of those recipes that you must try this summer, or just whenever you get the chance.
Total pre time: 225 minutes
Servings: 12 servings.
What you’ll need
1-pound breakfast sausage, hot
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 to 4 cups whole milk, more to taste
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, more to taste
12 cooked biscuits, warmed, for serving
How to make it
Step 1:
Use your fingers to tear small pieces of sausage and add them in a single layer in a skillet.
Step 2:
Allow the sausage to turn brown over medium-high heat until they are no longer pink. Reduce the heat to low-medium and sprinkle half the flour over the sausage. Stir in a way that the flour is all soaked, and then add more gradually. Stir and leave it to cook for another minute before pouring milk, then stir after.
Step 3:
Allow the gravy to cook, and stir constantly for about 10 to 12 minutes until it thickens. Then sprinkle the seasoned salt and pepper, continue to cook until it gets very thick.
Step 4:
Use a spoon to put the sausage gravy on the warm biscuits and serve immediately.
Tips
The gravy could be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Biscuits could also be made ahead of time. Then just reheat the food before you serve it.
If you want to thicken the gravy without using flour, you could substitute with cornstarch or arrowroot.
Heavy cream or skim milk could be used as a milk substitute. Although, the gravy will not be as thick or flavorful if you use a non-dairy milk substitute.
