Ingredients
Homemade Biscuit Recipe
- 2 cups all-purpose flour.
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder.
- 3/4 teaspoon salt.
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (well chilled)
- 1 cup milk, (more or less if needed)
Homemade Gravy Recipe
- 1 pound bulk pork breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup butter (4 tablespoons)
- 1/3 cup flour
- 2 1/2 –3 cups milk
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add contents to a food processor and pulse in butter 1 tablespoon at a time until it starts to get crumbly. You can also cut in butter with a pastry knife. Return the dough back to the bowl and slowly add the milk until a rough ball forms.
- Pat out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Cover the dough with a towel and allow to rest for 20 minutes. Cut with a standard biscuit cutter or round drinking glass. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake at 425 degrees for 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Brown good quality ground breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is no longer pink. Reduce the heat to low. Melt 1/4 cup butter in the pan with the sausage. Sprinkle in the flour. Whisk and cook the mixture for 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5-10 minutes over low heat. If the gravy thickens too much, add 1/4 cup of milk at a time till desired thickness.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
