Cook mode

1. Start the biscuits in a 400°F [200°C] oven according to the package, usually about 12 minutes. While they bake, brown 1/2 pound of ground sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon and cooking until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
2. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the sausage fat. Lower the heat to medium and stir in 2 tablespoons of flour, stirring constantly for 1 minute until the flour loses its raw smell.1 min
3. Add 1 cup of buttermilk slowly while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.3 min
4. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, then taste and adjust. The gravy should be creamy and coat easily.
5. Split the hot biscuits onto two plates and pour the sausage gravy over each one. Serve at once while everything is warm.

Note Swap ground sausage for crumbled bacon if you prefer; cook it separately and add to the gravy. Leftover gravy keeps covered in the fridge for three days and reheats gently with a splash of water. Serve with a green salad or quick sautéed spinach to balance the richness.
