Ingredients

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 8 refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cup whole milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs(optional)

Method

  1. Bake the biscuits according to the package directions.

  2. Crumble the sausage into a large skillet over medium and cook 8 minutes until browned, breaking it small.

  3. Add the butter, then sprinkle in the flour and stir 2 minutes so it coats the sausage and loses its raw smell.

  4. Whisk in the milk a cup at a time and simmer 6 to 8 minutes until the gravy is thick enough to coat a spoon.

  5. Season hard with black pepper and salt.

  6. Split the biscuits, ladle the gravy over, and top with a fried egg if you like.
