Melt butter in the same skillet. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually add 600ml milk, stirring constantly until gravy thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper or paprika if desired. Return sausage to the gravy and remove from heat.
