Some mornings call for something warm, filling, and made with love.
Flaky, buttery biscuits smothered in rich, creamy sausage gravy… this is the kind of breakfast that slows everything down and brings everyone to the table.
It’s simple. It’s hearty. It’s Southern comfort at its finest. ✨
🛒 INGREDIENTS
🧈 For the Buttery Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cubed)
¾–1 cup cold buttermilk
🌭 For the Sausage Gravy:
1 lb breakfast sausage
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2½ cups whole milk
½ teaspoon black pepper (or more to taste)
¼ teaspoon salt (adjust as needed)
Pinch of crushed red pepper (optional)
👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
1️⃣ Make the Biscuits
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
Slowly add buttermilk, stirring just until dough comes together (don’t overmix!).
Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently pat to about 1-inch thick, and fold it over itself 2–3 times for flaky layers.
Cut with a biscuit cutter and place on a baking sheet.
Bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown. Brush tops with melted butter while warm. 🤍
2️⃣ Make the Sausage Gravy
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and fully cooked.
Do NOT drain all the grease — that’s flavor!
Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir well. Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in milk while stirring constantly.
Simmer until thick and creamy (about 5–7 minutes).
Season with black pepper, salt, and red pepper if using.
👉 If gravy gets too thick, add a splash of milk.
3️⃣ Serve
Split warm biscuits in half.
Spoon generous sausage gravy over the top.
Serve hot and enjoy every bite.
💡 PRO TIPS
✔ Keep butter very cold for flaky biscuits
✔ Don’t twist the biscuit cutter (it seals the edges!)
✔ Fresh cracked black pepper makes the gravy extra flavorful
✔ This reheats beautifully the next day
Rich. Creamy. Buttery. Hearty.
The kind of breakfast that feels like a hug from the inside.
