Absolutely! Here’s a classic Buttermilk Biscuits with Sausage Gravy recipe — hearty, creamy, and perfect for breakfast or brunch 🍽️.
Buttermilk Biscuits with Sausage Gravy
Ingredients
For the Biscuits (makes about 8 biscuits)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk (cold)
For the Sausage Gravy
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2–3 cups milk (whole milk preferred)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper for heat
Instructions
1. Make the Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
- Pour in buttermilk and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat to about 1-inch thickness.
- Cut biscuits with a round cutter and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
2. Make the Sausage Gravy
- In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.
- Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir for 1–2 minutes to cook out the raw taste.
- Slowly pour in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the gravy thickens.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
3. Serve
- Split biscuits in half and pour warm sausage gravy over the top.
- Serve immediately with coffee or your favorite breakfast sides.
Tips & Variations
- Flaky biscuits: Keep butter cold and handle dough gently.
- Extra creamy gravy: Use half-and-half or heavy cream with milk.
- Add herbs: A pinch of thyme or sage enhances the gravy flavor.
- Make-ahead: Biscuits can be frozen before baking; bake fresh when ready.
If you want, I can also make a “shortcut version” that uses store-bought biscuits but still makes restaurant-style sausage gravy, ready in under 20 minutes.
