Biscuits

Method

Biscuits

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Cut the stick of unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Milk

    Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape Biscuits

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.

  6. 6

    Bake Biscuits

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Gravy

  1. 7

    Cook Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

  2. 8

    Add Flour

    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

  3. 9

    Add Milk Gradually

    Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

  4. 10

    Season the Gravy

    Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Stir well to combine.

  5. 11

    Serve

    Spoon the sausage gravy over the freshly baked biscuits and serve hot.
