Biscuits And Sage Sausage Gravy
Warning:you will want to lick the plate clean after tasting these biscuits and gravy! it has been a family recipes for over 110 years. i find using the fatty sausage mild or hot from jimmy dean works great. he has a sage sausage but i never use it. It just doesn't taste as good. Enjoy!!
Steps
Fry sausage in large skillet.
Crumble sausage as you go.
Add sage.
When sausage is completely cooked , add flour a little at a time soaking up the grease from the sausage.
Stir it around.
Do not drain grease ! depending on how lean your sausage is you may need more or less flour.
More will make it thicker.
If the sausage is too lean , cut back on the milk.
Keeping burner on medium low heat , add milk a little at a time.
Constantly stirring.
Add cream.
Your gravy should be thickening.
If it is too thin , add some flour and small amount of milk in a cup.
Stir and add slowly until desired gravy thickness is achieved.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
The more pepper you add , the more the flavor comes out and makes your gravy a little hotter.
Pour over fresh hot biscuits.
Warning: they may lick the plate clean !.
