Oh yes 😌 biscuits and gravy—the ultimate Southern breakfast comfort food: fluffy biscuits smothered in creamy sausage gravy. Here’s a full classic recipe.
🍽 Biscuits and Gravy
Ingredients (4 servings)
For Biscuits (makes ~8)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold butter, cubed
- ¾ cup buttermilk
For Sausage Gravy
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2–3 cups milk
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper
Instructions
1️⃣ Make Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in buttermilk until dough just comes together.
- Turn dough onto floured surface, gently knead 2–3 times.
- Roll or pat to ½–inch thickness; cut with a biscuit cutter.
- Bake 12–15 min until golden.
2️⃣ Make Sausage Gravy
- Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking into crumbles. Drain excess fat, leaving 2–3 tbsp.
- Sprinkle flour over sausage, stir 1–2 min.
- Gradually add milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Simmer 5–7 min until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and optional crushed red pepper.
3️⃣ Serve
- Split biscuits in half and ladle hot sausage gravy over the top.
Pro Tips
- Extra fluffy biscuits: Keep butter cold and handle dough gently.
- Make ahead: Biscuits can be baked in advance; reheat while gravy is cooking.
- Variations:
- Add shredded cheese to gravy for extra richness.
- Use spicy sausage for a kick.
- Make gravy with half-and-half or cream for creamier texture.
