Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 Tbsp baking powder ((aluminum-free))
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt ((we use fine sea salt))
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter ((8 Tbsp))
- 1 cup cold half and half (less 2 Tbsp*)
- 1/2 Tbsp melted butter (to brush the baked biscuits)
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (casings removed)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups milk (low fat or whole milk)
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt (or to taste)
- 1 1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper (or to taste)
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Steps
-
Make your biscuit dough and bake according to our Biscuits Recipe. While the biscuits are baking, make the sausage gravy so they are ready at the same time.
-
Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large heavy skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add sausage. Sauté, breaking it up with a spatula until just cooked through (5 min). Reduce heat to medium, sprinkle flour over the top and stir constantly for 3 minutes.
-
Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using.
-
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened up nicely into a rich and creamy sauce (about 5 minutes). To thin the sauce, add a little more milk. Season to taste at the end if needed.
-
Break or cut biscuits in half and spoon sausage gravy over biscuits then serve.
