Biscuits and Gravy

Sage Breakfast Gravy and Biscuits

1 pound roll sage Pork sausage

Pinch Dried Thyme

Pinch Onion powder

Pinch Garlic powder

Cook sausage over medium heat until no pink remains. (I use a wooden spoon to flatten the meat while cooking.) 

Remove sausage from pan, set aside to slightly cool while preparing the roux for the gravy.

Make roux by melting...

6 tablespoons butter

Add

1/8 cup All-purpose flour

Whisking constantly to smooth lumps.

Simmer until thick and bubbly, at least 1 1/2 to 2 minutes to remove flour taste.

Prepare Gravy by whisking in...

8 cups warm Milk, 2 cups at a time. Allowing to thicken in between adding more milk.

Whisk constantly until smooth.

Crumble sausage, add to gravy.

Stir well to combine.

Simmer until desired consistency is achieved.

Serve hot over biscuits. 

Biscuit Recipe below.

Note:

I feed many so I always end up making two batches of gravy for one roll of sausage. Total of 1 & 1/2 sticks butter, 1/4 cup flour and a half gallon milk.
