sausage gravy and biscuits
ingredients:
- a roll of sausage (Jimmy Dean, Bob Evans, Tennessee Pride, etc)
- whole milk
- Pillsbury ready-to-bake biscuits
- flour
recipe:
- preheat the oven (see back of biscuits for the temperature)
- cook sausage over medium heat until it's just-before-done
- turn heat down
- add 1/4 cup flour, stir, and scrape the bottom
- continue adding another 1/4 cup flour a bit at a time, while stirring and scraping, until no "glistening" fat is left
- cook the flour for a few minutes until the white specks turn brown, continue stirring
- put the biscuits in the oven
- pour a lot of milk in, perhaps a quart (4 cups), until the sausage floats sufficiently
- add a pinch of salt and some pepper
- turn heat up to medium
- heat the milk until boiling, then decrease temp and cook until it's thick enough
- cook milk for a total of ~15 minutes, adding more milk if it's thickening too quickly
- (it will thicken more as it cools)
