Here's my recipe:

1 lb. Pork Sausage (Hot kind is great!)
4 cups milk (warm is better, cold is okay)
6 heaping tbsp. all purpose flour
Salt & Pepper to taste

Fry pork sausage until crumbly and browned.  If desired, drain off all
but 3tbsp. of fat.  Add flour, cook a little, and slowly mix in milk,
making sure all of the flour has "dissolved" into the milk.

Slowly heat to boiling, stirring constantly.  Add salt and pepper to
taste.

Boil and stir until thickened.  Serve hot over biscuits.

Note:  The flour sometimes doesn't thicken the gravy enough.  If you
find that the gravy isn't as thick as you desire, add a mixture of
cornstarch and water to the gravy to thicken.

This is true country sausage gravy.  I learned how to make the stuff
in good ole' Kentucky.

Best,

Margaret
