Method
Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat to about 1-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
- Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Gravy
- In a large skillet, cook breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and cooked through.
- Drain any excess grease, then sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serving
- Serve warm biscuits split in half and topped generously with sausage gravy.
Notes
For extra fluffy biscuits, use very cold butter and buttermilk. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the gravy for a little kick.
