Sausage Gravy

Here’s how to whip up this cozy, flavor-packed gravy:

Step 1. Brown the Sausage

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up into small crumbles as it browns.
• Cook until the sausage is fully browned and a little crispy.
  
  

Step 2. Stir in the Flour

• Sprinkle the flour over the sausage.
• Stir and cook until the flour absorbs into the sausage grease and forms a paste—this is your gravy base!
  

  

Step 3. Pour in the Milk

• Slowly pour in the milk while continuously stirring.
• Keep stirring until all the milk is incorporated and the gravy starts to thicken.
  

  

Step 4. Add the Maple Syrup

• Stir in the maple syrup for a subtle sweetness that balances the spicy sausage.
• Continue cooking until the gravy reaches your desired creamy consistency.

Step 5. Season and Serve

• Season with salt and plenty of black pepper to taste.
• Serve hot over split biscuits and enjoy every bite! These Butter Swim Biscuits are perfect to pair with this sausage gravy.
