Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Gravy
- 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: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Continue cooking until the sausage is browned and fully cooked through. Do not drain the sausage drippings, as they will be used for the roux.
- Add gluten-free flour: Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle the cooked sausage with gluten-free flour and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to slightly toast the flour until it turns a golden brown color similar to peanut butter.
- Whisk in milk: Gradually add the whole milk while whisking constantly for 2-3 minutes. Cook until the milk thickens to your preferred consistency. If the gravy becomes too thick, add more milk one tablespoon at a time to loosen it.
- Season the gravy: Generously season the gravy with black pepper and salt to taste. Remove from heat and stir in the cold butter until melted and incorporated.
- Serve and store: Serve the sausage gravy warm over gluten-free biscuits or your favorite base. Store leftover gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat, add a little milk and warm on the stove or in the microwave. Note that the gravy does not freeze well.
Notes
- Use gluten-free measure-for-measure flour for best thickening results.

- Fresh chives or parsley add a nice color and fresh flavor for garnish.
- Sausage gravy pairs perfectly with gluten-free biscuits for a classic breakfast experience.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat gently with added milk, as freezing is not recommended.
