Homemade Biscuits and Sausage Gravy is the perfect breakfast comfort food! A simple gravy recipe with a few ingredients is smothered over buttery and flaky biscuits. This is a breakfast recipe you're going to be making again and again.
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
Cut in cold diced butter, using a pastry blender or your hands until it looks like large course crumbs.
Stir in cold milk just until incorporated. Let sit for no more than 2 minutes.
Using a large scoop, scoop 12 biscuits onto prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake 15 minutes until tops are just starting to turn golden brown.
Sausage Gravy
In a large skillet with deep sides, brown and crumble sausage over medium heat until fully cooked.
Do NOT drain grease.
Sprinkle flour over sausage and stir to mix together, cooking for a minute.
Slowly pour in milk while whisking at the same time. Whisk until the flour is completely blended.
Whisk in salt and black pepper.
Let simmer for 2-3 minutes while constantly stirring slowly, until thickened.
Once thickened, remove from heat and ladle over warm biscuits.
Notes
Taste the gravy before serving. You might like a little more salt and pepper.If the gravy is to thick for your liking, you can always add a touch more milk to thin it out a bit. I would add it ¼ cup at a time.
