Method

Biscuits

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

    Cut the stick of unsalted butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Add Buttermilk and Rosemary

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk and fresh rosemary. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough out 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 the Biscuits

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

Gravy

  1. 7

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles.

  2. 8

    Make the Roux

    Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and stir well to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

  3. 9

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 10

    Season the Gravy

    Add black pepper and salt to taste, stirring well to combine.
