Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Biscuits

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined. Drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.

Cook the Meat

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon or sausage until crispy and browned. Remove and drain on paper towels. Keep some drippings in the pan for gravy.

Make the Gravy

In the same skillet, add sausage crumbles and cook until browned. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Cook the Eggs

In a separate skillet, cook the eggs to your preference (scrambled, fried, etc.). Season with salt and pepper.

Serve

Plate the eggs, meat, and biscuits. Top the biscuits with sausage gravy. Enjoy your Southern breakfast!
