Biscuits & Gravy Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Make the Biscuits

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined.

2. 2

   Shape and Bake

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently. Pat into a 1-inch thick round and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

3. 3

   Prepare the Gravy

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage or shiitake mushrooms until browned. Sprinkle flour over the meat and stir for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.

4. 4

   Season the Gravy

   Add black pepper, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste. Simmer for a few more minutes until hot and thickened.

5. 5

   Serve

   Cut the biscuits in half and ladle the sausage or shiitake gravy over the top. Serve immediately.
