- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound Pork sausage, (mild or hot, your preference)
- ¼ cup All-purpose flour
- 2 ½ cups Whole milk
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper , freshly ground
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon Cayenne pepper, or to taste

- Fold in cooked sausage, cheese, minced onion and garlic powder
- Scoop onto parchment paper lined baking sheet

Sausage Gravy
- Place sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break up with a wooden spoon until brown.
- Drain all the fat except 1/4 cup. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour evenly over the browned sausage and the rendered fat in the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly with a whisk or spatula, for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in 2.5 cups of the cold milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Start with a small amount of milk to form a smooth paste with the roux, then slowly add the rest.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, continuing to whisk occasionally. As it heats, the gravy will begin to thicken. This usually takes about 5-8 minutes.
- Stir in the black pepper, salt, and optional pinch of cayenne pepper.
Christina's Notes
- Cold Ingredients: Ensure butter and milk are cold for the best biscuit texture.
- Gentle Mixing: Avoid overmixing the dough to keep biscuits tender.
- Gradual Milk Addition: Add milk slowly to the roux, stirring constantly to maintain a smooth gravy.
- Size: Small size make a great appetizer for parties, large size make great sandwich biscuits.
- Any Meal: Egg on the biscuits are a great grab and go breakfast, for lunch add your favorite deli meat and vegetables. Dinner can be a great side or place a burger in between or use to top a stew or pot pie recipe.
