This classic dish is a favorite in the South, and for good reason. It's easy to make, packed with flavor, and perfect for any occasion.
To make Southern-style biscuits and gravy with scrambled egg, you'll 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 buttermilk
- For the gravy:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the scrambled egg:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently until it comes together. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. 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, make the gravy. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the flour is lightly browned. 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 make the scrambled egg, melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and use a spatula to scramble them. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, split the biscuits in half and place them on a plate. Spoon the gravy over the biscuits and top with the scrambled egg. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
This Southern-style biscuits and gravy with scrambled egg dish is the perfect combination of savory and satisfying. The biscuits are flaky and buttery, the gravy is rich and creamy, and the scrambled egg is fluffy and flavorful. It's the perfect breakfast to start your day off right!
