A result of having too much buttermilk on hand and wanting to make sausage gravy with a new twist to us. An excellent and delicious experiment!

Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 1 lbbulk breakfast sausage, your favorite variety
  2. 1/4 cupall-purpose flour
  3. 3 cupmilk
  4. 1 cupbuttermilk
  5. 1/2 tspblack pepper
  6. 1-1 1/2 tspsea salt (start with 1/2 tsp and adjust to taste)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Crumble and brown breakfast sausage in a large, deep sided saute pan over medium heat until brown and beginning to crisp. About 8 minutes. Remove sausage from pan to paper towel lined plate, leaving grease in pan.

  2. 2

    Whisk flour into sausage drippings to make a roux. Cook until golden, stirring constantly. About 3-4 minutes. This cooks out the raw flavor of the flour.

  3. 3

    Whisk milk and buttermilk into roux until well incorporated and no lumps remain, scraping up any bits sticking to the pan Increase heat to medium high. Bring gravy to a slow boil until it thickens slightly, whisking constantly. About 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to medium low. Taste a piece of cooked sausage to gage its saltiness. Stir in sausage, pepper and salt to taste (usually 1/2-1tsp for me). Lightly simmer uncovered until you have a nice thick gravy, stirring often. About 10 minutes more.

  5. 5

    Serve over your favorite biscuits, toast, eggs, hash browns, heck just about anything! Lol! Enjoy!

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.

Followed all steps as directed but as soon as I added the buttermilk it curdled. Why would this happen?
