Ingredients
- 1 lb (500 g) ground breakfast sausage
- 3 tbsp (15 mL) bacon grease
- ¼ cup (60 mL) flour
- 3 cup (720 mL) milk
- ½ tsp (2.5 mL) salt
- ¼ tbsp (4 mL) ground black pepper
Directions
Biscuits
- Make 'cut' biscuit dough.
- Place the cut biscuits in the oven when you add the bacon grease to the skillet in the gravy procedure below (step 3).
- Remove from oven after 10 to 12 minutes; the biscuits should be warm when served with the gravy.
- Gravy
- Brown the sausage in a large skillet.
- Remove the browned sausage from the skillet and reserve in a bowl, being careful to leave as much of the drippings as possible in the pan.
- Add the bacon grease to the skillet, and place the skillet on low to medium-low heat.
- Once the bacon grease is up to temperature, mix the flour into the grease.
- Add the milk slowly, mixing as you pour.
- Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly scraping the bottom and edges of the skillet. Stirring keeps the gravy from becoming too lumpy or burnt.
- Continue stirring until the gravy has nearly reached the desired consistency, usually about 10 minutes.
- Add the browned sausage held in reserve.
- Remove from heat and allow to set for 1 minute.
- Serve with biscuits.
