Sawmill Gravy Recipe

By Diana Rattray, About.com

This sawmill, or sausage gravy is made with milk or cream.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons fat (from cooking sausage)
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups milk, light cream, or half-and-half
  • salt and pepper
  • cooked crumbled sausage

Preparation:

After cooking the sausage, leave about 3 tablespoons of fat in the pan, with the sediment. Sift or sprinkle in about 3 tablespoons of flour (over medium heat), and stir until browned. Pour in a cup of milk, season with salt and pepper, and keep stirring until it's thickened. If too thick, add more milk.
Add a little extra sausage if the gravy will be served over biscuits
