Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 1 quarter cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Cut in 0.5 cup of unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Make a well in the center and pour in 1 cup of whole milk. Stir until just combined. Do not overwork the dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Pat or roll the dough to about a 1/2 inch thickness.
Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, cook 1 pound of ground pork sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly. Do not drain the fat.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir until the flour is fully combined with the fat and sausage.
Gradually stir in 3 cups of whole milk, continuing to stir constantly until the mixture thickens and bubbles. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Season the sausage gravy with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Serve the hot sausage gravy over the warm biscuits.
