Biscuits & Gravy Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Make the Biscuits

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently. Roll out to 1-inch thickness and cut into rounds. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Gravy

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork chorizo until browned and cooked through. Sprinkle in the 1/4 cup of flour and stir for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the 2 cups of milk, whisking continuously until the gravy thickens. Season with black pepper and red pepper flakes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Home Fries

    In a separate skillet, heat the pre-cooked home fries over medium heat until crispy and golden brown.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Mixed Greens

    In a bowl, toss mixed greens with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    To serve, place biscuits on plates, ladle chorizo gravy over the top, and serve with home fries and mixed greens on the side.
