It astounds me that some people might not know how to fix this staple of Southern Cooking, so I'm going to post it. Southern Biscuits and Sausage Gravy. This feeds three hungry adults, but we tend to over-eat something this tasty. You'll need your favorite Biscuits (I like Mary B's frozen biscuits), 1 lb of bulk Sausage (your favorite flavor, we like Hot) 1/4 cup flour 2 cups Whole Milk Mary B's Frozen Biscuits Salt and Pepper to taste Photo Nov 23, 10 16 53 AM by Dave Steier, on Flickr
These biscuits take 20 minutes at 400° F. PRE-HEAT your oven unless you like half done biscuits. When you put the biscuits in the oven, it is time to start the gravy.
Brown off sausage in flat bottomed frying pan. DO NOT DRAIN. Do not turn down heat. Add 1/4 cup flour. Mix and stir until you can't see any "white" from the flour (see image for proper cooking).

Do you use 2% milk or skim milk?
I think I like your gravy. I don't cook so I just order them. The gravy always just has this tiny flecks of what might be meat bits. Not even enough to get in between my teeth.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Excellent.
Frozen biscuits are the bomb. I can make pretty good ones from scratch but it's messy and a lot of trouble.
Actually I buy them fresh from a local market and freeze them myself. 30 Seconds in the microwave and a couple of minutes in the toaster oven and they're GTG.

Yep, that's basically the same way I make mine, with the exception that I use Half & Half instead of milk.

My wife is from southern Missouri. She uses store bought biscuits but makes her own gravy with your exact recipe. Can anybody guess why I fell in love with her? Good looks and good cookin' is a pretty darn good combination.

De-Lish!
My cooking has taken a hit as well. Since the stove zapped out the main breaker.
But I can recommend Last Chance Saloon in Sweet Springs, Missouri (an old river town, platted in 1838). Right down the block from the Old City Hall. Parrish cooks them up similar. Sausage, milk, flour, butter, salt/pepper.
Butter? Is that common?

I absolutely hate store bought biscuits, most are either too dry, crumbly or, taste like baking soda. I don't eat B&S often but, when I do, I'm making my own biscuits, along with the gravy.

My gravy recipe is almost exactly like yours, but I add a 1/2 cup of minced onion to the sausage while it browns. Also a lot of fresh ground pepper.
And yes, whole milk or nothing.

Yep. Sorry, Roland, but you lost me at “frozen” biscuits. Definitely whole milk, though.
I’m from Georgia, BTW.

Well it has been discussed before. I present to you a video:

Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

We use the same recipe but we like Pillsbury Grand biscuits. Light and flaky. Not doughy. Good tutorial Rolan.

I note that Mary B's biscuits were recalled last January because of Listeria. Has that been fixed?
