The King Biscuit Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Make the Biscuits

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined. Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, and pat into a 1-inch thick round. Cut out biscuits with a cutter and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.

2. 2

   Prepare the Sausage Gravy

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned. Add the chopped scallions and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk to create a smooth gravy. Season with black pepper and simmer until thickened.

3. 3

   Fry the Eggs

   In a separate skillet, fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preference. Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Assemble the Dish

   Split the warm biscuits in half, layer with sliced city ham, and top with gouda cheese. Place the fried egg on top and generously ladle the scallion-sausage gravy over everything. Serve immediately.
