Description
A comforting plate of biscuits and sausage gravy that evokes warmth and nostalgia, perfect for family gatherings and leisurely breakfasts.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for the gravy)
- 2½ cups whole milk (for the gravy)
- ½ teaspoon salt (for the gravy)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (for the gravy)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter into the flour mixture and cut the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in ¾ cup of whole milk and stir gently until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 3-4 times. Roll out into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut out biscuits.
- Arrange biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
- While biscuits bake, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook 1 pound of breakfast sausage until browned.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup flour over the cooked sausage, stir, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add 2½ cups milk, stirring continuously, and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened (5-7 minutes).
- Stir in ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Split warm biscuits and ladle hot sausage gravy over them. Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, keep ingredients cold and avoid overmixing the dough. If the gravy is too thick, add a splash of milk.
