Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 2.5 cups whole milk (for gravy)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- kosher salt (to taste)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Add the cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Gradually add 0.75 cup of milk, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a round biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the sausage gravy. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to coat the sausage in the flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in 2.5 cups of milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the gravy with black pepper and salt to taste.
To serve, slice a cheese biscuit in half, place it on a plate, and spoon the sausage gravy generously over the top. Enjoy!
