ButterMilk Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

from ButterYum

makes 4-6 servings

Ingredients

• • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked (reserve fat drippings)

  • 4 tablespoons fat (sausage or bacon drippings, melted butter)

  • 4 tablespoons all purpose flour

  • 2 cups whole milk

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon rubbed sage

  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

Directions

• 1. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, melt fat and add flour; whisking until until the mixture bubbles for a full minute.

  2. Add milk, salt, pepper, sage, and parsley; continue whisking until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.

  3. Turn off heat and stir in cooked sausage.

  4. Serve over homemade Buttermilk Biscuits.

Note: The gravy will thicken as it cools - if needed, stir in a splash of milk to thin (works well when heating leftover gravy as well).
