Sausage Gravy .... Easy Peasy and Southern Style

Take one pound of ground sausage and brown up in a large skillet.
When well browned, sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of flour over all.
Stir this around for a few minutes.
Pour in about 12 ounces of milk, stirrring constantly. You will probably need some more milk. Add a little at a time until the gravy is as thick or thin as you want it. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over toast or biscuits that have been baked and sliced in half.

Hints: If your sausage is in skins, you will have to remove the skins and break up the sausage.

Most American sausage is pretty lean now. Therefore I add a few tablespoons of cooking oil to the sausage as it cooks.

Answer 4

Thanks for loving our breakfasts!!! I look forwar to going to UK one day :)

Yes, they are soooooo good. But preparing breakfast like that can be difficult.

I would recommend that you use INSTANT PANCAKE Mix..When I was 12, I would make instant pancakes all the time. It was easy, quick, and tasted great.

Sausage is good--but is Veeeery hard to make Gravy. Even experienced professional cooks know that Gravy is tricky and difficult. (I cant make gravy)

I would recommend that you just buy Turkey Sausage Links (do you have those in the UK?) I dont like the "smoked" ones, just the regular ones

.If you have a Cast Iron pan, place the sausage in tha pan with a little oil--and put them in the oven on 400 degrees. That will fry them

Fried Turkey Sausage & Pancakes are soooo good!
You can top the pancakes with strawberry jelly or syrup.

Answer 5

I'm glad to share my grandmothers recipe with you. First buy the type of ground sausage you prefer not links. Cook the ground meat till done, remove from the pan. There should be some fat left in the pan if not add a little bit of oil. To the pan add about 4 tablespoons of all purpose flour and stir around till it absorbs the fat in pan. Add salt and pepper to taste and the sausage meat then add water to cover stirring all the while. If it is to thick add more water if to thin let it boil down a little. This can be poured over biscuits (not cookies) toast or what ever you like. It's is very good my family loves it.

Answer 6

Pancakes/Waffles
Mix it all together; there may be small lumps
Drop by 1/4 cups [or so] onto a hot pan
Cook until bubbles appear, then flip and cook until lightly brown
Serve with butter and maple syrup or other toppings you like
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup oil or melted butter
1-3/4 cups milk

Other breakfasts my family enjoys:
Eggs - scrambled, fried, poached, soft cooked
Bacon, sausage, or ham, or even steak - cooked to perfection
Biscuits - with butter and jelly [or sausage gravy]
Pancakes - with pecans in them [Sprinke chopped pecans before turning the pancake]
Pancakes - with chocolate chips [Sprinke chocolate chips before turning the pancake]
Potatoes - home fries or hash browns

Sausage gravy is white sauce mixed with breakfast sausage that has well-browned and broken into small chunks.

Answer 7

We have a grain mill so we make our own pancake flour from Kamut. It is so naturally sweet and nutty flavored that regular wheat pancakes taste like cardboard in comparison. It has the added advantage that the germ and its oil is included so it is healthy food as well.
Our mill is made by Ktech - the link below describes it. Unlike most mills it has no stones and can grind the finest cake flour. It is also self cleaning - a big plus with me. You might contact the maker and see if they have 220 50 cycle machines for England

As for your gravy fry sausage and when cooked remove the sausage and add flour and milk to the drippings. Use a sage sausage or maple sausage.
cooks.com has this one
BISCUITS AND SAUSAGE GRAVY

8 buttermilk biscuits
3/4 pound of sausage (fatty sausage works best for this)
4 cups of milk
4-6 tablespoons of flour

Prepare biscuits as instructed on package. Brown sausage in skillet. As soon as sausage is completely brown, turn to medium heat. Add flour by the tablespoon, stirring constantly. Let the flour turn BROWN before adding another tablespoon (if you don't, your gravy will taste like flour). After you have added enough flour to mske the gravy as thick as you like, add milk and stir with whisk.
Serve over biscuits.

I also add pepper.

Answer 8

Well I think along with pancakes and sausage you have to have scrambled eggs and bacon. I will say that everyone who has ever tried my eggs think they're the best scrambled eggs ever. The trick is is to beat the eggs until most of the egg white is gone (little clear spots appear when mixing with yolk). You wont get all of the whites blended completely but beating for a few minutes will make all the difference in the world. I also add about a teaspon of milk or cream. They are yummy.

Answer 9

I'm American and surprisingly I don't eat pancakes and sausage LoL...but since you sounded open to ideas and suggestions and want to hear what some of us DO eat...let me share with you :) I LOVE french toast...us Americans usually make it with "Texas Toast" which is SUPER thick and square shaped...you can get that in the grocery store. Another fun thing to try is breakfast burritos...eggs and cheese in burritos...eggs and cheese on english muffins is good too! We call that the "Egg McMuffin" LoL. If you like sausage, you can add sausage to that! Oh...and another very american thing....ketchup on your eggs! Try it in the breakfast burrito.

Answer 10

I don't eat meat, so I am limited in the greasy breakfast department.

My breakfast usually consists of yogurt or juice in the blender with fruit. Very boring. If I want to be bad...an omelette filled with feta cheese, tomatoes, peppers, onions and mushrooms with some spicy salsa on top and a dollop of sour cream. Now, I'm hungry!

Answer 11

I've always wanted to try the American breakfast the biscuits and gravy just sounds so good, all the recipes I've found have ingredients that you just cannot get in the u.k, please feel free to send me any recipes you get I am absolutely dying to try biscuits and gravy
