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 Sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork breakfast sausage, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Continue until the sausage is browned and fully cooked through. Do not drain the sausage drippings as they will be used for the roux.
- Add Gluten-Free Flour: Reduce the heat to medium. Sprinkle the cooked sausage with gluten-free flour and stir continuously. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour toasts slightly and turns a golden brown similar to peanut butter color.
- Whisk in Milk: Gradually whisk in the whole milk, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes. Continue cooking until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. If too thick, add more milk one tablespoon at a time.
- Season and Finish: Season the gravy generously with black pepper and salt to taste. Remove from heat and stir in the cold butter until melted and incorporated.
- Serve and Store: Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired. Serve the gravy warm over gluten-free biscuits or your favorite bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, add a splash of milk and warm on the stove or microwave. Note that sausage gravy does not freeze well.
Notes
- This gravy pairs perfectly with gluten-free biscuits for a classic breakfast experience.
- Use a measure-for-measure gluten-free flour blend to ensure the right thickening consistency.
- Do not drain the sausage drippings; they add rich flavor to the gravy.
- If the gravy becomes too thick, add additional milk gradually to reach your preferred consistency.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently with added milk to preserve texture.
- Sausage gravy does not freeze well, so it's best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated for a short time.
