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

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Add the diced cold butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the 3/4 cup of milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. 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.
  6. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut out additional biscuits.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  8. 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.
  9. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine, cooking for about 1 minute.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover biscuits and gravy separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the biscuits in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes, and gently reheat the gravy on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally.
