Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 pound breakfast sausage with sage, casings removed
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups milk

Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a bowl using a slotted spoon.

Add the butter and flour to the skillet and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Pour in the milk, bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened, stirring and scraping the bottom of skillet constantly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the reserved sausage and mix until fully combined.
