Method

Biscuits

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's ready for baking the biscuits.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Add the cold unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Buttermilk

    Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

  1. 7

    Cook Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the country sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 8

    Make Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flour to cook slightly.

  3. 9

    Add Milk

    Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

  4. 10

    Season

    Add black pepper and salt (to taste) to the gravy, stirring to combine. Adjust seasoning as desired.
