How To Make homemade biscuits and gravy

  • 1
    To make the homemade biscuits, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the contents to a food processor and pulse in the butter 1 tablespoon at a time until it starts to get crumbly. (You can also cut in the butter with a pastry knife.) Return the dough back to the bowl and slowly add the milk until a rough ball forms.
  • 2
    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 F for 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • 3
    To make the gravy, brown the 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.
  • 4
    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 more milk, 1/4 cup at a time, until the desired thickness.
