Notes

Pro tip: for the smoothest sausage gravy, whisk the flour into the drippings before adding the milk, and simmer until you can draw a line through the gravy with a spoon. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or microwave until hot. Freezing is not recommended for best biscuit texture. If you need a lighter option, use reduced-fat milk in the gravy and expect a slightly thinner set.
