Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk, cold
  • 1 pound (450g) breakfast sausage
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups (600ml) whole milk, warmed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter.
  3. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in cold whole milk and stir gently until just combined; dough will be sticky.
  5. Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold over and pat again two times.
  6. Cut biscuits using a 2.5-inch round cutter and place close together on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. While biscuits bake, brown sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking into small pieces, about 8 minutes.
  9. Remove excess grease from skillet, leaving about 3 tablespoons.
  10. Add butter to skillet and melt over medium heat.
  11. Sprinkle flour evenly over sausage and butter mixture; stir constantly for 2-3 minutes.
  12. Gradually whisk in warm whole milk, stirring to avoid lumps; gravy thickens in about 5 minutes.
  13. Season gravy with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if using; adjust seasoning to taste.
  14. Simmer gravy gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until creamy. Add more milk if too thick.
  15. Serve hot by splitting warm biscuits and ladling sausage gravy generously on top.

Notes

Keep butter cold when mixing biscuit dough for flaky layers. Do not overmix dough. Remove excess grease from sausage before making gravy to avoid greasiness. Cook flour in fat before adding milk to prevent lumps. Use warm milk to avoid clumps. Adjust seasoning to taste. Dough can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. Biscuits and gravy can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 3 days.
