Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 2 cups Whole milk (for gravy)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for gravy)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for gravy)
- 4 Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Cut in 6 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in 3/4 cup of whole milk until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, gently knead it a few times, and roll it out to a 1-inch thickness.
Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
While the biscuits are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook 1 pound of breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.
Stir in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Gradually pour in 2 cups of whole milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low to keep the gravy warm while you prepare the eggs.
In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil over medium heat. Crack in the 4 eggs and cook sunny-side-up to your preferred firmness.
To assemble, split the warm biscuits in half and place them on serving plates. Spoon the sausage gravy generously over the biscuits.
Top each plate with a sunny-side-up egg and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Biscuits Gravy Eggs Extraordinaire!
