Classic Southern Biscuits and Gravy (Sawmill Gravy) Recipe
Also called the following: White Gravy, Cream Gravy, Poor-do (in Appalachia), Poor Man's Gravy.  Add Egg to the hot gravy and you have Egg Gravy.  
Ingredients
  • 4 Easy Southern Biscuits That Just Can't Fail
  • ⅓ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 teaspoon ground fennel seed
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon chipotle powder
  • 1 pound pork sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped coarsely
  • 2 tablespoons bacon fat or butter
  • 3 cups whole milk or 2% milk
  • Morton's kosher salt to taste
  • About the biscuits. In a pinch, you can serve the gravy over toast or English muffins.
  • About the sausage. A good pork breakfast sausage patty without casing is my first choice. Italian sausage works fine. If you want, you can smoke the sausage. It is wonderful that way.
  • About the milk. This recipe works fine with 2% milk but if you have real cream or half and half, use 2 ¾ cups of the milk and ¼ cup of the good stuff for extra richness.
  • Optional. I like to garnish with French's Original Crispy Fried Onions for crunch.
