2 tablespoons butter (or chicken drippings)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

4. Classic Sausage Gravy
A rich, creamy, and flavorful Southern-style gravy perfect for serving over warm biscuits.
Ingredients:
1 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
2 tbsp butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ cups whole milk (or more as needed)
½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
½ tsp black pepper (or to taste)
¼ tsp garlic powder (optional for extra flavor)
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a spicy kick)
Instructions:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked.
Do not drain the grease unless there’s an excessive amount (a little fat helps with flavor).
Add the butter and sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to coat the meat.
Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring while the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Pour over warm biscuits and serve immediately!
