• 1 before you get started, get your biscuit's on a pan following the pkg. directions.
• 2 while your sausage if frying up, put your biscuits in the oven, by time your done make this, your biscuits will be done, and nice and hot.
• 3 in a large frying pan, brown your sausage and break it up with a snake potato masher or fork.
• 4 once it is nicely browned, pull sausage to the sides of the pan so that the drippings drain into the middle.
• 5 spoon a 1/2 cup of the flour into the drippings and mix good till it's nice and brown, add a little more flour if need be.
• 6 once you have the flour browned, start folding in the sausage.
• 7 mix 2 cups water with 1 cup milk and stir together.
• 8 start slowly pouring the milk and water mix into the the sausage mixture,.
• 9 only pour what you need to get a nice consistency.
• 10 (tip): if you need to add more flour after the milk and water have been added, you need to add the flour to a little cool water, stir till smooth, then add that to your sausage mixture, otherwise like any other gravy, you will get flour lumps.
• 11 use your judgement on adding more milk or water to your taste.
• 12 * don't forget: heat of flame must be at least medium high heat so that the flour will expand and smooth out.
• 13 once you get it to how you like it, turn your heat down, you don't want to burn your gravy. and -- the gravy will thicken as it sits, so don't make it too thick.
• 14 add salt and pepper and a teaspoons of sage. (the sage is to your taste also, but we've been using it since i was born., and it just makes it wonderful. if you like bob evans sausage gravy, you love this even more).
• 15 pour over freshly baked buttermilk biscuits -- or your own.
• 16 ( but if your making your own, make them first before you even think of making this gravy).
• 17 enjoy!
