3. Then add the flour a little at a time whisking constantly. Cook for about 2-3 minutes.
4. Now add the cold milk a little by little, whisking continuously.
5. When the milk starts to thicken, add the sausage/ground meat back along with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Cut the biscuit in half, pour the gravy over it and enjoy.
