Here’s a classic Biscuits and Gravy recipe—a Southern breakfast favorite with fluffy biscuits smothered in creamy sausage gravy. 🥐🥓
Ingredients
For the Biscuits
- 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 the Sausage Gravy
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2–3 cups milk (adjust for desired thickness)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper or paprika
Instructions
1. Make the 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 onto a floured surface and gently knead 3–4 times.
- Pat to 1-inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes until golden.
2. Make the gravy
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned.
- Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in milk, cooking until thickened and creamy.
- Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
3. Serve
- Split biscuits in half and pour gravy over the top.
- Serve immediately, optionally with fried eggs or hash browns.
💡 Tips
- For extra creamy gravy, use whole milk or half-and-half.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for flavor variation.
- Leftover gravy can be stored in the fridge and reheated gently.
