Create the Gravy: Gradually pour in 3 cups of cold milk while whisking continuously. đź’ˇ Pro-Tip: Using cold milk prevents lumps by slowing the starch gelatinization.
Simmer and Thicken: Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5-10 minutes until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it becomes too thick, thin it with the remaining milk.
Finish and Season: Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy. Season generously with black pepper, salt, and optional cayenne. Taste and adjust seasoning.
To Serve
