Description

A hearty breakfast dish featuring homemade buttermilk biscuits topped with savory sausage gravy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 batch buttermilk biscuits
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 cups whole milk

Instructions

  1. Make biscuits. While they are baking, prepare the sausage gravy.
  2. Break up sausage in a large cast skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until browned. Do not drain the grease unless there is more than 2 tablespoons or so.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, then sprinkle the flour over the sausage, stirring until absorbed, about 1-2 minutes. Season with the salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic powder.
  4. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until thickened to your liking, anywhere from 3 minutes to 8 minutes. If the gravy gets too thick, add a little additional milk to thin it out.

Notes

  • For a richer gravy, use a higher fat sausage.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasonings according to your taste.
