Biscuits and Sausage Gravy
Biscuits and Sausage Gravy is a classic Southern breakfast dish that is loved by many. This hearty and delicious meal is perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special occasion. To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
For the biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
For the sausage gravy:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 425°F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk and stir until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Once the sausage is cooked through, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, split the biscuits in half and top each half with a generous spoonful of sausage gravy. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Biscuits and Sausage Gravy is a comforting and satisfying breakfast dish that is sure to please. The biscuits are flaky and buttery, while the sausage gravy is rich and savory.
