Biscuits and Sausage Gravy 

(FULL LONG RECIPE)

A Southern classic that never disappoints — fluffy, buttery biscuits drenched in creamy, peppery sausage gravy. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any comfort-food craving!

Ingredients

For the Biscuits

• 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup (115 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
• ¾ cup (180 ml) milk

For the Sausage Gravy

• 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2½ cups (600 ml) milk
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions (Detailed & Easy)

Step 1 — Make the Biscuits

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold cubed butter. Cut it into the flour using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it looks like coarse crumbs.
4. Pour in the milk and gently mix until a soft, shaggy dough forms — don’t overmix.
5. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll or pat to about 1-inch thickness.
6. Cut biscuits using a round cutter or a cup.
7. Place on a baking sheet and bake 12–15 minutes, or until golden and risen.

Step 2 — Make the Sausage Gravy

1. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Don’t drain — the fat is flavor!
2. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage. Stir and cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
3. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly.
4. Keep cooking until gravy thickens to a creamy, spoon-coating consistency.
5. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne (optional for heat).

To Serve

Split warm biscuits in half and ladle a generous amount of sausage gravy over the top.
Serve immediately for maximum comfort!
