Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 cup cold butter
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for gravy
- 2 cups whole milk for gravy
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Prepare the biscuit dough
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add cold butter and mix until crumbly texture forms nicely.
Add milk and form dough
- Pour milk slowly into the mixture. Stir gently until soft dough forms. Do not overmix to keep biscuits light and fluffy.
Shape the biscuits
- Roll the dough on a floured surface. Cut into circles using a cutter or glass. Place them on a baking tray.
Bake the biscuits
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Bake biscuits for 12–15 minutes until golden brown. Remove and let them cool slightly before serving.
Cook the sausage
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned. Break it into small pieces while cooking evenly.
Add flour to sausage
- Sprinkle flour over cooked sausage. Stir well and cook for one minute. This helps thicken the gravy properly.
Pour milk slowly
- Add milk gradually while stirring constantly. This prevents lumps and creates a smooth gravy texture.
Season the gravy
- Add salt and black pepper. Stir and let it cook until thick and creamy. Keep stirring to avoid burning at the bottom.
Assemble the dish
- Split biscuits in half. Pour hot gravy over them. Serve immediately while warm and fresh for best taste.
Notes
- Use cold butter for soft and flaky biscuits
- Do not overmix dough to avoid hard biscuits
- Cook gravy on medium heat for better texture
- Add red chili flakes for a spicy version
- Use turkey sausage for a lighter option
- Add cheese to biscuits for extra flavor
- Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for richer taste
