Ingredients
- 2 Cups All-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp Baking powder
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 Pound Sausage taste
- 1/4 Cup All-purpose flour
- 3 Cups Milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually pour in the milk while stirring until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together.
- Roll out the dough to a 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown. Set them aside while you prepare the gravy.
- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into crumbles. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through.
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine, ensuring the flour coats the sausage evenly.
- Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring until the gravy thickens and comes to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If the gravy becomes too thick, you can add more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
- Split the biscuits in half and place them on serving plates.
- Generously spoon the warm sausage gravy over the biscuits.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of fluffy biscuits and savory gravy.
Notes
Tips for the Perfect Biscuits and Gravy:
- For fluffier biscuits, avoid overmixing the dough. This will help prevent dense biscuits.
- To achieve a rich and flavorful gravy, use high-quality breakfast sausage. You can choose between mild or spicy sausage depending on your preference.
- Season the gravy with salt and pepper according to your taste. Feel free to add other herbs and spices such as thyme or sage for additional flavor.
- If you prefer a thinner gravy, add more milk gradually until you reach your desired consistency.
- Leftover biscuits and gravy can be stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the biscuits in the oven or toaster oven and warm the gravy on the stovetop before serving.
