Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• Salt to taste

How to Make Biscuits and Gravy

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold it over itself a few times to create layers, then cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
6. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. While the biscuits are baking, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary.
8. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
9. Gradually whisk in the 2 cups of milk. Stir constantly until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Add black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt to taste.
10. Once the biscuits are baked, split them in half and spoon the creamy sausage gravy over the top. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use cold butter to ensure your biscuits are fluffy and flaky.
• Don’t overmix the biscuit dough; a few lumps are okay.
• For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the sausage gravy.

Easy Variations

• Swap the breakfast sausage for turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option.
• Add cooked mushrooms or spinach to the gravy for added nutrition.
• Try using different types of cheese in the biscuits for a cheesy flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad
• Scrambled eggs or an omelet
• Crispy bacon or ham
• Hash browns or roasted potatoes

Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For the gravy, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat both in the microwave or on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of milk to the gravy to restore its creamy texture.
