These are also the perfect dish to make if you are hosting or attending a potluck breakfast or brunch. The biscuits keep nicely in an airtight container and you can keep the sausage gravy nice and warm in your slow cooker. You might be surprised at how quickly the pan gets wiped clean. You can’t go wrong with biscuits and gravy, no matter what kind of crowd you are serving. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at The Pioneer Woman:
“…make this on a cold Saturday morning. Your family will sing your praises for years to come!”
I love knowing that everyone is satisfied after having this for breakfast. We have it for supper sometimes too!
Ingredients
Biscuits
3 cups Gold Medal All-purpose Flour
2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1-1/2 stick (3/4 Cup) Cold Butter, Cut Into Pieces
1-1/4 cup Buttermilk
SAUSAGE GRAVY
1 pound Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sausage, Hot Or Mild
1/3 cup All-purpose Flour
4 cups Whole Milk
1/2 teaspoon LaSeasoned Salt
2 teaspoons Black Pepper, More To Taste
Instructions
BISCUITS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Add flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl of a food processor (or a large bowl.) Add butter pieces and pulse until butter is completely cut into the flour mixture (or use a pastry cutter if using a bowl.) While pulsing (or stirring) drizzle in the buttermilk until dough just comes together and is no longer crumbly.
Drop in clumps on two baking sheets, then bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown. (Optional: Brush with melted butter when biscuits first come out of the oven.)
SAUSAGE GRAVY
With your finger, tear small pieces of sausage and add them in a single layer to a large heavy skillet. Brown the sausage over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Sprinkle on half the flour and stir so that the sausage soaks it all up, then add a little more until just before the sausage looks too dry. Stir it around and cook it for another minute or so, then pour in the milk, stirring constantly.
Cook the gravy, stirring frequently, until it thickens. (This may take a good 10-12 minutes.) Sprinkle in the seasoned salt and pepper and continue cooking until very thick and luscious. If it gets too thick too soon, just splash in 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Spoon sausage gravy over warm biscuits and serve immediately!
