Kentucky Style Biscuits and Gravy
This hearty and delicious biscuits and gravy recipe gave the hard working people of the South the energy and stamina they needed to get through the morning's duties. This is a Sunday morning favorite, and always requested by guests.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 16 ounces package sage pork sausage
- ⅓ cup all purpose flour
- 4 cups whole milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoons black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
- 1 package refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
Instructions
- Break up sausage in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in skillet and cook over medium heat until pink is gone and sausage is browned.
- Reduce heat to medium-low; sprinkle in the flour and mix until all lumps are gone and flour is fully absorbed by the sausage (the sausage will look very dry.) Continue to cook for one more minute until the flour is slightly browned.
- Slowly stir in the four cups of milk and turn the heat up to medium-high. Add salt, pepper and paprika. Stir constantly until gravy is very thick, about 10 minutes.
- Serve over hot biscuits and enjoy!
Notes
Lowfat, nonfat, or canned milk can be used in the recipe, but the gravy tastes richer with whole milk.
If it gets too thick, thin gravy by gradually adding more milk until desired consistency is reached.
Leftover gravy can be stored in the refrigerator, expect it to thicken. Reheat it on the stovetop, adding milk until desired consistency is reached.
If you don't have paprika, you can shake in a drop or two of liquid cayenne pepper.
