For the Sausage Gravy:
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Puff Pastry:
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: Thaw puff pastry sheets according to package directions. On a floured surface, roll them out slightly and cut into squares or rectangles sized for individual pies or one large pie.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground breakfast sausage until fully cooked and crumbly. Drain excess fat, leaving a little for richness.
- Make the Gravy: Add butter to the skillet with the sausage, then stir in the flour to create a roux. Gradually whisk in milk until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Pie: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place one puff pastry piece on a lined baking sheet, spoon sausage gravy into the center, then cover with another pastry piece. Seal edges firmly and cut slits on top to vent steam.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Let cool briefly before serving to allow the gravy to set.
Notes
- Keep puff pastry cold until use for maximum flakiness.
- Cook roux long enough to avoid raw flour taste but do not brown.
- Use whole milk or cream for richer gravy.
- Seal pastry edges tightly to prevent leaks during baking.
- Allow pie to cool slightly before slicing to let gravy set.
