Buttermilk Biscuits & Sausage Gravy

This is one of my husband's favorite breakfast meals. Every now and then I can get lucky and make this as "breakfast for dinner", which is just what we did recently. I love to make flaky wheat buttermilk biscuits (previously posted on my blog) and then this sausage gravy recipe. You can definitely buy buttermilk biscuits from the store if you don't want to make homemade, but I strongly suggest making them homemade. :) This meal is super filling and so delicious. We always have this meal with some fresh fruit on the side.

-Slowly add in the flour and turn heat to medium. Whisk together the butter and flour.
-Slowly stir in the milk, stirring until the mixture is combined and starting to get thicker.

-Add additional milk if the mixture is too thick.
-Place 2 buttermilk biscuits cut in half on a plate and top with desired amount of sausage gravy.
