Ingredients
Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup buttermilk
Gravy:
1 lb breakfast sausage
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2–2½ cups whole milk
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Make the Biscuits
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3️⃣ Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4️⃣ Stir in buttermilk just until dough comes together. Don’t overmix.
5️⃣ Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat to ½–¾ inch thickness.
6️⃣ Cut biscuits using a round cutter and place on the prepared baking sheet.
7️⃣ Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
2. Make the Sausage Gravy
1️⃣ In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked.
2️⃣ Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir to coat. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
3️⃣ Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens.
4️⃣ Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
3. Serve
Split the warm biscuits and ladle the creamy sausage gravy over the top.
Optional: garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color.
Tips for the Best Biscuits and Gravy
Cold butter in the biscuits is key for flakiness.
Don’t overmix the dough—gentle handling keeps biscuits tender.
For extra-rich gravy, use half-and-half instead of whole milk.
Leftover gravy can be refrigerated and reheated gently for another breakfast.
Final Thoughts
Biscuits and Gravy is more than just a breakfast—it’s a tradition, a comfort, and a celebration of Southern flavors. Fluffy biscuits paired with creamy sausage gravy are guaranteed to satisfy any craving and bring smiles to your table.
