Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (plus more if needed)
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for the biscuits.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the buttermilk just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently pat to 1-inch thickness, and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
- Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- While biscuits are baking, cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Do not drain fat.
- Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in milk while stirring. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season gravy with black pepper and additional salt if needed.
- Serve hot sausage gravy over freshly baked biscuits.
Notes
- Use very cold butter for flakier biscuits.
- If gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen.
- Gravy can be made ahead and reheated with a bit of milk.
