Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.
Cut 6 tablespoons of chilled and diced unsalted butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center and pour in 3/4 cup of buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently about 5 times. Pat the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
While the biscuits are baking, cook the 1 pound of pork sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir until the flour is absorbed, about 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in 3 cups of whole milk, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the gravy with 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, or to taste.
Slice the warm biscuits in half and ladle the sausage gravy over the top. Serve immediately.
