Instructions
Step 1: Make the Buttermilk Biscuits
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend into coarse crumbs.
Stir in buttermilk gradually until dough forms. Do not overmix.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and pat into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.
Cut out biscuits with a cutter or glass. Place on baking sheet, 1 inch apart.
Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Gravy
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
Sprinkle flour over sausage and stir for 1–2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in milk. Add butter now if using.
Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring, until thickened.
Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Step 3: Assemble and Serve
Split biscuits in half.
Spoon hot gravy generously over each biscuit.
Serve immediately while warm.
Tips for Success
Use Cold Butter: Helps create flaky layers.
Don’t Overmix: Overworking the dough leads to tough biscuits.
Spice It Up: Use spicy sausage or add extra red pepper flakes.
Make Ahead: Biscuits can be made in advance and reheated.
DIY Buttermilk: Mix ¾ cup milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar; let sit 5 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Scrambled Eggs: Add protein and variety.
Fresh Fruit: Balances the richness.
Coffee or Tea: Perfect pairing with the savory dish.
