Country Gravy

December 7, 2019Brianna

One of the recipes I’m most excited to share on this blog is my mom’s sausage gravy recipe. I need to have her make it in front of me while I’m measuring and writing it down thought because she doesn’t ever use a recipe. When I make it I don’t either so I need to do that. But find American ground breakfast sausage is not sold here anywhere. I’ve tried to even make my own with ground pork and I just can’t get it to taste right. I’ve given up on trying to recreate it while living here. Biscuits and gravy are honestly one of my favorite breakfasts so I’ve been using this country gravy recipe instead of making sausage gravy. It’s super delicious. You’re going to love it. Serve it over a biscuit and fried chicken and you’re going to really really love it.

Country Gravy

Rich and creamy peppered country gravy to serve over your favorite biscuits! Add a piece of this fried chicken and you’re going to have the best meal of your life.

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

½ cup butter

½ cup flour

2 tsp salt

1 ½2 tsp pepper (to likeness)

4 cups of whole milk

Instructions

In a 4-quart pot melt butter over medium heat.

Add the flour, salt, and pepper and whisk for 3-4 minutes until starting to brown.

Reduce heat to medium-low and in a steady stream, while continually whisking, add the milk.

Continue to whisk frequently till gravy starts to boil and desired thickness is reached.

Remove from heat and serve over biscuits or toast.

Notes

It’s really important to use whole milk in this gravy. In other gravy recipes, chicken/beef bouillon/broth is used to give it a rich flavor. In country gravy neither is used so having whole milk really adds the flavor and richness needed.
