How to Make Merm's Biscuits And Sausage Gravy

Preheat oven according to biscuit package directions. Bake biscuits until golden brown.
While biscuits are baking, cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon or potato masher as it browns. Drain off any excess grease.
Reduce heat to low. Melt butter in the same skillet.
Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir until well combined, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. This will take a few minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Split each biscuit in half and butter generously.
Arrange biscuit halves on plates.
Spoon the sausage gravy generously over the biscuits.
Serve immediately with scrambled or over-easy eggs.
