Oh yes — Biscuits and Gravy 🍽️🥛 — a Southern comfort classic! Fluffy biscuits smothered in creamy, savory sausage gravy. Here’s a full, foolproof recipe.
🍪 Biscuits and Gravy
Ingredients (serves 4)
For the biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup milk (plus more if needed)
For the gravy:
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2–2½ cups milk
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Optional: pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes
Instructions
Make the biscuits:
- Preheat oven: 425°F / 220°C.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in butter: Use a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add milk: Stir until just combined — dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Shape & bake:
- Turn dough onto floured surface, pat to ~1-inch thickness.
- Cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter.
- Bake 12–15 minutes until golden.
Make the gravy:
- Cook sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned. Break into small pieces.
- Add flour: Sprinkle flour over sausage, cook 1–2 minutes to remove raw taste.
- Add milk: Slowly whisk in milk until smooth.
- Simmer: Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and optional cayenne.
Serve:
- Split biscuits in half and pour sausage gravy generously over the top.
- Optional: garnish with extra black pepper or fresh herbs.
Pro Tips
- Fluffy biscuits: Keep butter cold, don’t overmix dough.
- Thicker gravy: Use a bit more flour or simmer longer.
- Make ahead: Biscuits can be baked and reheated; gravy can be made ahead and reheated gently.
- Variations: Use spicy sausage for a kick, or add caramelized onions for depth.
