- 1 pound breakfast sausage (spicy or mild)
- 1/4 cup flour (for gravy)
- 2 cups whole milk (for gravy)
- Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in chilled butter until crumbly. Gradually stir in milk until a slightly sticky dough forms.
- Knead and Roll: Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead gently about 5 times, then roll out to 1-inch thickness.
- Cut Out Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Make Sausage Gravy: In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned. Sprinkle flour over sausage; stir for 1 minute. Slowly add milk while stirring; simmer until thickened (5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Place warm biscuits on plates and ladle the sausage gravy generously over them.
