Southern Biscuits and Gravy

Southern Biscuits and Gravy is a classic Southern breakfast dish that is loved by many. This dish is a perfect combination of fluffy biscuits and creamy gravy that will leave you wanting more. To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the biscuits:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 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
To start, preheat your oven to 425°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 hands 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 a few times until it comes together. Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter 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, start making the gravy. In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour is absorbed. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve, split the biscuits in half and spoon the gravy over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Southern Biscuits and Gravy is a hearty and comforting breakfast dish that is perfect for a lazy weekend morning. The biscuits are light and fluffy, while the gravy is rich and creamy with a hint of spice from the breakfast sausage. This dish is sure to become a family favorite!
