Sausage is cooked down as the base of a wonderfully flavorful and thick white gravy that traditionally tops freshly baked biscuits. It being September is also significant because it&#8217;s my mom&#8217;s birth month, and sausage gravy and biscuits is one of her favorite meals to have for breakfast. So this is for her!

Using plain butter to start your roux, if you want to make a plain (but still very delicious) gravy<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add flour to make a roux: <\/strong>Equal parts fat and flour are needed to make a roux. In this case, we estimated that there is approximately 1\/4 cup of fat released from the sausage cooking. If you&#8217;re just using butter, the 1:1 ratio will be much easier to calculate. If you use 2 tablespoons of butter, add 2 tablespoons of flour. If you use 1\/2 cup of butter, add 1\/2 cup of flour to make a roux.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add liquid: <\/strong>This recipe calls for chicken broth and milk\/cream to make the gravy &#8220;white&#8221; and creamy, but not <strong>too<\/strong> creamy. For a super creamy gravy, just cream or milk can be used. For a brown gravy, chicken or beef stock or broth can be used.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whisk until smooth:<\/strong> It&#8217;s super important to slowly pour and whisk in the liquids after making your roux. And keep whisking! This will help keep lumps from forming in your gravy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Substitutions and modifications for sausage gravy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Instead of ground pork\/sausage<\/strong>: use ground turkey or turkey sausage. Make sure to add 1\/4 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, and dried sage if using a ground meat that isn\u2019t already seasoned like sausage<\/li>\n<li><strong>Instead of whole milk<\/strong>: heavy cream, coconut milk, and 2% milk work well too<\/li>\n<li><strong>For even more flavor<\/strong>: start with 1 tablespoon of butter or oil, add diced onion, and minced garlic to the sausage as it cooks, before making the gravy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make <a href=\"https:\/\/mobilesouleats.com\/buttermilk-biscuits\/09\/\">buttermilk biscuits<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2.5 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>2 Tablespoons baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1 Tablespoon sugar or honey (whisked into buttermilk)<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon kosher salt<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup unsalted butter, very cold or frozen<\/li>\n<li>1 cup very cold buttermilk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preheat oven to 430\u00ba F. Sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add diced butter to flour and cut butter (either using a food processor or two forks) into the flour until small pebbles form. Leaving a few large chunks of butter is fine. Add buttermilk and gently combine into a ball of dough.<\/li>\n<li>Empty the dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Top with a little more flour then form into a rectangular shape that is 3\/4\u201d thick. Use biscuit cutter to cut biscuits and line on a baking sheet 1\/2\u201d apart. (For additional layers: trifold the dough, roll it out to 3\/4\u201d thickness, then trifold it again before using biscuit cutter.)<\/li>\n<li>Brush the tops of biscuits with remaining buttermik. Bake for 20-23 minutes.
