Buttermilk Biscuits and Vegetarian Sausage Gravy

Step 4: Mmm, Gravy

1. Over medium high heat, gently heat the sausage crumbles until they're warmed through (about 3 minutes)
2. Remove from the pot and place on a small plate
3. Heat butter in the pot until melted
4. Add flour and whisk to combine
5. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to bubble and browns just slightly
6. Add stock and milk and lower the heat slightly
7. Continue whisking until the mixture begins to thicken - this will take approximately 7 minutes. When the mixture coats the back of a spoon and holds it's place when you draw your finger through it, it is thick enough
8. Add the sausage back into the mixture and allow to heat for about 2 minutes to ensure the sausage is warm
9. Add salt and pepper to taste
