A reliable, classic recipe for Biscuits and Gravy. Creamy, savory and oh so comforting. This time i will make only for the For the gravy portion, I flavor my ground pork with a homemade spice blend (based on my homemade breakfast sausage recipe here). Of course you can use breakfast sausage that is already flavored but I didn’t have any on hand, hence the homemade seasoning. One other tip that you’ll need to remember: once you add in the milk to create that thick gravy, you’ll want to increase the heat to get it bubbling but then reduce it right away to keep it at a light simmer. This is to prevent the milk from curdling. Chunky gravy is not delicious, in case you were wondering.

Remove from the heat and stir in the maple syrup. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more maple syrup, salt and black pepper to taste. 5. Arrange the biscuits on plates. Spoon the gravy on top and serve with scramble egg.
