Buttermilk Recipe √ Buttermilk Sausage Gravy

This is my husband's recipe that was handed down to him by his grandmother. His grandmother stated that you must use Farmer John® sausage and bacon drippings or it would not taste as delicious as hers. It was never written down, just a pinch of this and a handful of that. I finally got him to measure everything and this is the result.

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package pork link sausages (such as Farmer John(R))
• ¼ cup bacon drippings
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 ½ cups buttermilk
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Place sausages and bacon drippings in a skillet and cook over medium heat, breaking up sausage into bite-sized pieces, until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Add flour, stirring constantly. Slowly add buttermilk and cook and stir until gravy has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
