Biscuits and Gravy anyone!

What you need:
Breakfast Sausage
Flour
Milk
Salt
Pepper
Biscuits-Canned or Homemade
Slice the breakfast sausage and place in a warm pan. Cook the sausage according to the package instructions. Remove them to a paper towel to drain.
Place your biscuits in the oven to cook according to instructions for canned or homemade biscuits.
Pour grease out of the skillet you used for the sausage, adding back in only what you want to use to make the gravy. For one to two people, use about 2 to 3 tablespoons or grease. Over low to medium-low heat, add about 2 tablespoons of flour to the grease and whisk immediately. If you add a little to much flour and the mixture seems to dry, add in a little more grease so it is smooth and storable. You want to find a good balance between the flour and the grease.
Once you find it, just keep stirring with the whisk and allow the mixture to brown for a few minutes. As you whisk, scrape in anything from the bottom of the pan.
After 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, pour in about a cup of milk. If the mixture is dry, lumpy or pasty, add in more milk - again, drawing a balanced mixture. Add salt to taste. Let the gravy warm up over low heat, stirring occasionally. Cut prepared biscuits in half and pour gravy on top of them
