My go to gravy for biscuits and gravy. I use my Buttered Biscuits recipe for the biscuits. Recipe under Breads. I typically make a recipe and a half to have leftovers for the next day. You need to add some milk to the gravy to loosen it up and make it the right consistency when re-heating.
1 (12 ounce) package maple flavored sausage (I use regular)
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
salt and pepper to taste
Recipe
Place sausage in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings in the pan. Stir in the butter until melted. Add flour, and stir until smooth. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until light brown. Gradually whisk in milk, and cook until thickened. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in cooked sausage. Reduce heat, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes. If gravy becomes too thick, stir in a little more milk.
