I made sausage gravy for the first time, today. Now, I was born in PA to Yinzer parents, but I've lived almost my entire life in VA. All of this is in Appalachia, so there are cultural similarities, but things do change when you cross the Mason-Dixon. My parents never really made sausage gravy, though my dad liked it. I love the stuff; far more than I should as a diabetic. Anyway, I finally decided to make my own and this snowy Sunday was the perfect day to do it.
And yes, those are two over-easy eggs on top, which is a delicious thing to add if you've never tried it. Came out a little thicker than I'd have liked. I did 1 pound of sausage, 1/3 cup of flour, and about 2 1/2 to 2 2/3 cups of whole milk. The flavor was spot on, but I think a little more milk may be necessary. I was also rather generous with the pepper, but I got the amount right because the flavor was great.
Anyway, who else is a fan of biscuits and gravy and what are your tricks? I did a simple one for my first foray, but I have seen additions of things like cayenne, garlic, onions, etc. Anyone get experimental with their gravy?
