Biscuits with sausage gravy are a classic and comforting dish very popular in the Southern cuisine of the United States. Its origin dates back to the culinary tradition of rural families, where they were a simple and nutritious option to start the day. In other Latin American countries, although not known exactly by this name, there are similar dishes that combine soft rolls with meat sauces or stews, reflecting the influence of American cuisine in the region. In Mexico, for example, some homemade preparations include breads accompanied by creamy sauces with minced meat, which can be considered variants inspired by this dish. The biscuits in this context refer to soft and flaky bread rolls (known as "biscuits" in English), different from the sweet cookies commonly known in Latin America.

How to Make Biscuits with Sausage Gravy
To begin, cook the sausage, remove it from the skillet, and drain the excess grease.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter until it is completely liquid.
Add the flour and whisk constantly until the mixture is smooth and lightly toasted.
Add the dry mustard, salt, and black pepper to flavor the gravy.
Gradually, pour in the milk while continuing to whisk until you get a homogeneous and lump-free mixture.
Bring the gravy to a boil and stir for one minute or until it reaches the desired consistency.
Remove from the heat and add the cooked sausage, mixing it well with the gravy.
This recipe can easily be doubled if you wish to prepare it for more people.
Finally, serve the gravy hot over freshly baked or warmed biscuits to enjoy a comforting and flavorful breakfast or meal.
