Biscuit, Bacon & Gravy Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Make the Biscuits

   Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently. Roll out to about 1 inch thick and cut into rounds. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.

2. 2

   Prepare the Bacon

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove bacon and place on paper towels to drain. Reserve some bacon grease in the skillet for the gravy.

3. 3

   Make the Gravy

   In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of flour to the reserved bacon grease. Stir for about 1 minute until lightly browned. Gradually whisk in the milk and add black pepper. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly.

4. 4

   Fry the Eggs and Sage

   In a separate skillet, fry the sage leaves in a bit of oil until crispy. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, fry the eggs to your desired doneness.

5. 5

   Assemble the Dish

   Cut the warm biscuits in half. Layer with bacon, pour the gravy over the top, and place a fried egg on each. Garnish with crispy sage leaves.
