Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Cut in 1/2 cup of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 3/4 cup of milk gradually, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times until it becomes smooth.
Roll the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness, and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps as needed.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the gravy by cooking 1 pound of breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir for about 1 minute until the flour is absorbed and lightly browned.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of whole milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes until the gravy is thickened.
Season the gravy with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve the warm biscuits smothered with freshly made sausage gravy.
