Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 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 milk
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times until it comes together.
5. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
7. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the sausage gravy. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into crumbles until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
8. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
9. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook the gravy until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in black pepper to taste.
10. Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and serve warm, topped generously with the sausage gravy.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is very cold for the flakiest biscuits.
• Don’t overwork the biscuit dough; this helps keep them tender.
• Adjust the amount of black pepper in the gravy according to your taste preference.
• For extra richness, you can substitute half-and-half for milk in the gravy.

Easy Variations

• Add shredded cheese to the biscuit dough for a cheesy twist.
• Incorporate sautéed onions or bell peppers into the sausage for added flavor.
• Try using turkey sausage for a lighter version of the gravy.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Scrambled eggs or a vegetable omelet for added protein.
• A side of hash browns or home fries for a heartier meal.
