1 lb breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne
1 16.3 oz tube refrigerated canned biscuits

How to cook it

Bake the refrigerated biscuits according to the package directions until golden.
Meanwhile, brown the sausage in a skillet, breaking it into small pieces, about 7 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and cook, stirring, 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens to a heavy, pourable consistency, about 5 minutes.
Season generously with black pepper, salt, and the cayenne.
Split the warm biscuits, ladle the gravy over the top, and serve immediately.
