Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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 the sausage: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork breakfast sausage, breaking it up into crumbles. Continue cooking until the sausage is fully browned and cooked through. Do not drain the sausage drippings as they will be used for the roux.
- Add the gluten-free flour: Reduce the heat to medium. Sprinkle the cooked sausage with the gluten-free flour and stir continuously, cooking the flour for 1-2 minutes until it turns golden brown, similar to the color of peanut butter.
- Incorporate the milk: Gradually whisk in the whole milk, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. If the gravy is too thick, add additional milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Season and finish: Season the gravy generously with black pepper and salt to taste. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cold butter until melted and incorporated.
- Serve and store: Serve the warm sausage gravy over gluten-free biscuits or your favorite side. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, add a splash of milk and warm gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Note that sausage gravy does not freeze well.
Notes
- Use measure-for-measure gluten-free flour for best thickening results.
- Do not drain the sausage drippings as they add rich flavor and are the base for the roux.
- Add milk gradually to control the thickness of the gravy to your preference.
- Fresh chives or parsley make a great garnish for added color and flavor.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; do not freeze as texture will be compromised.
