    Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

    Biscuits and sausage gravy is the Deep South’s definitive breakfast — flaky buttermilk biscuits split open and buried under a peppery gravy made from crumbled breakfast sausage and cream. It’s the breakfast that fuels a full day’s work.

    The definitive Southern breakfast

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up, about 6-8 minutes.
    2. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and cook, stirring, 2 minutes.
    3. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly, and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
    4. Season with pepper, salt, and cayenne, if using.
    5. Split the warm biscuits and smother with the gravy.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Cook the sausage until deeply browned — those crispy bits flavor the gravy. Add plenty of black pepper; it's the signature of proper sausage gravy.
