Gravy

Method

Cooking the Eggs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggs

    In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil or butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook to your desired doneness (sunny-side up, over easy, etc.). Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking the Meat

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon or Sausage

    In the same skillet, add the bacon or sausage and cook until crispy and golden brown. Remove from skillet and let drain on paper towels.

Making the Biscuit

  1. 3

    Prepare the Biscuit Dough

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined.

  2. 4

    Bake the Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick layer and cut out biscuits using a round cutter. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Making the Gravy

  1. 5

    Cook the Sausage

    In a saucepan, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Gravy

    Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens. Season with black pepper to taste.
