Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Gravy
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup gluten-free measure-for-measure flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2-1 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- 1 Tablespoon cold butter
Optional Garnish
- Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork breakfast sausage, breaking it up into crumbles. Continue cooking until the sausage is browned and cooked through. Do not drain the sausage drippings, as they will be used for the roux.
- Add the Flour: Reduce the heat to medium, sprinkle the cooked sausage with gluten-free flour, and stir constantly. Cook the flour for 1-2 minutes until it turns a golden brown color, similar to peanut butter.
- Make the Gravy: Slowly whisk in the whole milk continuously for 2-3 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken. If the gravy is too thick, add more milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Season and Finish: Generously season the gravy with black pepper and salt to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cold butter until fully incorporated. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired.
- Serve and Store: Serve the warm sausage gravy over gluten-free biscuits or your favorite gluten-free bread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, add a small amount of milk and warm on the stovetop or microwave. Note that sausage gravy does not freeze well.
