Biscuits and Gravy 😍😍
Ingredients:
For the Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup cold buttermilk
For the Sausage Gravy:
1 lb ground pork sausage (mild or spicy)
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add buttermilk and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough over itself three times, then pat again.
Cut out biscuits with a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter. Place on a baking sheet so sides touch slightly.
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and brush tops with melted butter if desired.
Meanwhile, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked. Do not drain the fat.
Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until thickened (about 5–7 minutes).
Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder and red pepper flakes.
Split warm biscuits and spoon generous amounts of sausage gravy over each. Serve immediately.
