Ingredients
1x
2x
3x
16
ounces
Pork Sausage
3
tbsp
all purpose flour
8
biscuits
1
stick
salted butter
8
eggs
3
cups
whole milk
1
tsp
salt
1
tsp
finely ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to whatever your biscuits call for.
Set your butter out to soften, and slice it so it softens quicker.
Put your biscuits in the oven, don't forget to set a timer.
Brown your sausage in a skillet (cast iron if you have it).
Sprinkle your flour over the sausage. Do not drain your grease. Mix it all together until the sausage and grease absorbs the flour.
Pour your milk in and whisk over medium high heat until thickened.
Taste the gravy before deciding how much salt to add, then add desired amount of salt and pepper. Don't skimp on the pepper.
Slice your biscuits in half and add a pad of butter to each half.
Pour your gravy over the biscuits and top with a fried egg or two.
Notes
A few pointers as you make this:
Start the biscuits before you start the gravy, they'll take about 20 minutes to bake.
Set your butter out to soften, and slice it so it softens quicker.
Have a separate skillet ready so you can fry your eggs right before plating.
Don't forget the pepper!
Taste gravy before salting, sausage is pretty salty so you'll want to account for that.
