Cut in the Butter
Cut the unsalted butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through.

Make the Roux
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional minute to remove the raw flour taste.
