Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 2 cups milk (for gravy)
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Fluffy Biscuits with Creamy Gravy
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the diced cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the 3/4 cup of milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it 3 to 4 times until it comes together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- While the biscuits are baking, prepare the gravy. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine, cooking for about 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in the 2 cups of milk. Continue stirring until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the biscuits are ready, serve them warm, topped generously with the creamy sausage gravy.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use cold butter for flaky biscuits. This helps create steam during baking, which makes them rise.
- Don’t overwork the dough; a gentle hand keeps the biscuits light and fluffy.
- For the gravy, adjust the thickness by adding more or less milk as desired.
Easy Variations
- Add shredded cheese to the biscuit dough for a cheesy twist.
- Incorporate herbs such as chives or thyme into the gravy for added flavor.
- Substitute the sausage with cooked bacon or turkey sausage for a different taste.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Scrambled eggs for a protein-packed meal.
- Sliced avocado for a creamy addition.
- A side of hash browns or roasted potatoes for extra heartiness.
