Southern Sausage Gravy

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown sausage until no longer pink.

Step 2

When sausage is cooked through, add flour to the skillet and stir to combine. Allow to heat through, about 2 minutes.

Step 3

Slowly add milk, about ½ cup at a time to prevent lumps, whisking the whole time. Milk should thin out the mixture. If the gravy is very thin at 3 cups, then that's enough. If it's still thick, add another ½ cup, until it reaches the desired consistency.

Step 4

Continue cooking and stirring to prevent lumps or sticking, until gravy comes to a low simmer and thickens.

Step 5

When gravy has thickened, add white pepper, and salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Serve right away over warm biscuits.
