Instructions
Preparation
- Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
- After browning the sausage, sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir it in thoroughly.
- Let this mixture cook for about two minutes.
- Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Increase the heat to medium-high until the mixture reaches a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about five minutes.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper, and sage.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Assembly
- Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and line the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, leaving an overhang.
- Pour the sausage gravy into the pastry-lined dish and spread it out evenly.
- Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and drape it over the top of the sausage gravy, trimming any excess pastry and crimping the edges to seal.
- Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Baking
- Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
For best results, ensure the puff pastry is well-thawed and chilled. Prepare ingredients beforehand to streamline cooking. Stir milk constantly for a smooth gravy.
