Instructions
Biscuits
  1. Prepare 6-8 biscuits according to box or recipe instructions. Once removed from oven brush with melted butter.
Gravy
  1. Heat cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Brown pork sausage until brown. Color = flavor, so let it develop some crusty brown pieces.
  2. Once sausage is cooked, reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the flour. Cook, stirring frequently for about 1 minute.
  3. Slowly stir in the 2 1/2 cups of milk and bring to a simmer. Add in salt, pepper, and cayenne.
  4. Cook, stirring frequently until thickened. If needed, stir in a little bit more milk to get it to the consistency you desire.
  5. Serve over biscuits and enjoy!
Recipe Notes

For a healthier version: use skim milk; use lower fat sausage (this isn’t always available in my grocery store, but you can find it sometimes!)

To reheat any leftover gravy: Scoop gravy into a skillet. Heat over medium heat with 1 Tbsp – 1/4 cup of milk depending on how much gravy you have left over. Stir until bubbling and serve over biscuits again.
