Ingredients:
- 1 pound sausage
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Wondra Flour
- Milk (quantity may vary)
Instructions:
1. Brown the Sausage:
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until it’s crumbly, dry, and has absorbed most of the grease. This should take a few minutes, and you want the sausage to have a nice brown color.
2. Add Butter:
- Once the sausage is browned, add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt and combine with the sausage, enhancing the richness of the gravy.
3. Incorporate Flour:
- Gradually sprinkle the Wondra Flour into the skillet while continuously stirring. The flour will help thicken the gravy and give it a smooth consistency. Keep stirring until the sausage is coated and the mixture appears slightly white.
4. Cook the Flour:
- Cook the flour and sausage mixture for about 2 minutes, or until the flour is lightly browned and the mixture is dry. This step is crucial for ensuring the flour is cooked properly and doesn’t have a raw taste.
5. Add Milk:
- Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. The amount of milk needed may vary depending on how much flour was added earlier. Adjust accordingly to achieve the desired consistency.
6. Simmer:
- Lower the heat to a simmer and allow the gravy to cook until it thickens to your liking. This usually takes a few minutes, during which you can adjust the thickness by adding more milk if it’s too thick, or more flour if it’s too thin.
7. Check Consistency:
- Take a moment to assess the consistency of the gravy. It should have a light reddish-brown color and a smooth texture. If it’s too thick, simply add more milk; if it’s too thin, sprinkle in a bit more flour and stir until desired consistency is reached.
8. Serve:
- Once the gravy has reached the perfect consistency, it’s ready to be served! Ladle it generously over biscuits, toast, or your favorite breakfast dish. Enjoy the comforting flavors of homemade sausage gravy with your loved ones.
