Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 2 cups milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt (for gravy)
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda.
Cut in 8 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center and pour in 1 cup of buttermilk. Stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until smooth. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Roll out or pat the dough to about 1/2 inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the sausage gravy. In a skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles until fully cooked.
Sprinkle 0.25 cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine, cooking for another minute.
Gradually stir in 2 cups of milk, continuing to stir until the mixture is smooth and thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the gravy with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Once the biscuits are done, split them open and ladle the hot sausage gravy over top. Serve immediately.
