BREAKFAST SAUSAGE GRAVY & BISCUITS

INGREDIENTS

1 lb breakfast sausage

16 oz heavy cream

¼ cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup maple syrup

Hot sauce, to taste (Chef John loves tabasco for this)

1 package frozen buttermilk biscuits

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium-sized saucepot, on medium heat, melt the butter. Add sausage and brown the sausage while breaking it into little pieces and making sure it’s fully cooked (use a wooden spoon). Once cooked, add the flour and stir the flour into the fat and butter to make a rue. You only need to cook this for like a minute, so keep it moving so it won’t burn. Add heavy cream, reduce heat so you get a gentle simmer (don’t let it boil!). Once the mixture is thickened, add maple syrup, hot sauce, salt, and pepper (Chef John loves a generous amount of black pepper here).

Cook the biscuits according to package instrucitons, spoon the gravy over the biscuits, maybe top it with some chives to add some green to the dish and enjoy!
