Eris’ Biscuits and Sausage Gravy:
INGREDIENTS:
Canned Biscuit Dough
1 lb sausage
24-32 oz heavy cream, half and half, or whole milk
1-2 cups flour
1 tablespoon chilli powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
(Optional: 1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes)
DIRECTIONS:
Go ahead and start preheating the oven for your biscuits. If you’re going to make your own, make them now. But I’ll be honest, I used canned.
In a medium to high heated up large skillet, brown the sausage with a dash of salt and pepper and chili powder. If you want a SPICY GRAVY add the paprika and red pepper flakes.
Once the meat is browned, add in a tablespoon or two of flour and coat the sausage with it. Once coated (you can tell because the sausage gets a sort of… softness to it, because the flour soaks up the fat and adheres to the meat), turn down the heat to medium and add in several cups of whole milk or heavy cream or half and half or whatever kind of fatty milk you’ve got. Yes, it has to have fat in it. No, you cannot use 2%, trust me. This is better. Go on a walk later if you’re worried about it. Add as much milk as you would like gravy.
Then, a quarter of a cup at a time, add flour. Whisk thoroughly between each addition. At about a whole cup of flour stop (or sooner, if it starts to get thick) let it go on about medium heat, stirring infrequently to keep the milk from scouring. After about 7 to 8 minutes or so, it should get REAL THICC. Add in the black pepper and stir it in.
Serve on top of split biscuits.
PUT IT IN YOUR MOUTH, YUM.
