    Biscuits and gravy are quite possibly the best comfort food ever. They’re perfect not only for breakfast, but at any time of day! This recipe is so easy, there’s no reason not to make it; it takes all of 20 minutes. You can buy pre-made biscuits to make it even easier, although I love to make my easy buttermilk biscuits.

    I added cayenne and nutmeg to this recipe – I think it really pulls the sauce together. If you don’t like spicy, just eliminate the cayenne. You can add other herbs too…fresh sage or a pinch of thyme are amazing in these!

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 pound breakfast sausage
    • 2 tablespoon butter
    • ⅓ cup all purpose flour
    • 3 ½ cups whole milk
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 2 teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly
    • 10 biscuits

    Instructions

    • In a large, heavy-bottomed (I use cast iron) skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage, crumbling it up into small bits. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked sausage to a bowl, leaving behind the grease and any brown bits that stuck to the skillet.
    • Add flour and combine, cook until flour smell dissipates and is slightly brown.
    • When the roux turns brown, slowly add in the milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Add the salt, nutmeg, cayenne, and pepper and continue to mix well.
    • Remove from heat and stir in the cooked sausage. If the mixture is too thick you can whisk in some more milk.
    • Serve immediately over freshly baked hot biscuits.

      What kind of whisk are you using in the video? I can not find one like it. Where would I purchase one.

      Defiantly recommend this recipe but I would use a 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper instead of a whole teaspoon. I love spicy but it over powers the gravy a bit

      No one taught me how to cook. So, when I married in college, it was touch and go. The first meal I made was beef stew and lemon pie. The lemon pie was great. The stew needed improvement. So, I studied every recipe, food menus that I could. Sounds like your mom and I grew up about the same time.
