Method

Biscuits

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Cut in Butter

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

  4. 4

    Add Buttermilk

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

  5. 5

    Shape Biscuits

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.

  6. 6

    Bake Biscuits

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

Sausage Gravy

  1. 7

    Cook Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spatula.

  2. 8

    Make Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

  3. 9

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.

  4. 10

    Season Gravy

    Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the gravy. Stir well and let it simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes.

Eggs

  1. 11

    Prepare Eggs

    In a small skillet, heat the butter or oil over medium heat.

  2. 12

    Cook Eggs

    Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your desired doneness, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Assembly

  1. 13

    Serve

    Split the baked biscuits in half, top with sausage gravy, and serve alongside the cooked eggs.
