For a richer flavor, consider using a high-quality sausage with a good fat content. If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of buttermilk to thin it out. Serve immediately over warm biscuits or your favorite breakfast items.
A luscious and comforting Southern-style gravy, perfect over biscuits, toast, or even fried chicken. This creamy, savory delight is a celebration of simple ingredients transformed into a culinary hug.
In a skillet, combine sausages and bacon drippings over medium heat. Break the sausage into bite-sized pieces. Cook until golden brown. (4-6 minutes)
Add flour to the skillet, stirring constantly to create a roux. Ensure there are no lumps and the flour is fully incorporated. (1 minute)
Slowly pour in the buttermilk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. (2 minutes)
Continue to cook and stir until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. (3-5 minutes)
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
