If there’s one breakfast that instantly brings me back to lazy Sunday mornings at my grandma’s kitchen table, it’s biscuits and gravy. That buttery, flaky biscuit soaking up creamy sausage gravy? Pure comfort. Growing up in Tennessee, this dish was more than breakfast it was tradition.
The best part? You don’t need fancy ingredients or culinary training to pull it off. This easy biscuits and gravy recipe takes less than 30 minutes and uses pantry staples. It’s hearty, budget-friendly, and tastes like home.
Ingredients :
For the Biscuits
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
• ¾ cup milk
For the Gravy
• 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups milk
• Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions :
1. Preheat and prep.
Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the biscuit dough.
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Pour in milk and stir just until combined.
3. Shape and bake.
Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently knead, and cut into biscuits. Place on baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
4. Cook the sausage.
In a skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces. Don’t drain the drippings—you’ll need them for the gravy.
5. Add flour.
Sprinkle in ¼ cup flour and stir until sausage is coated. Let it cook for a minute to remove that raw flour taste.
6. Pour in milk.
Slowly add milk, stirring constantly. Simmer until the gravy thickens—about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Assemble and serve.
Split warm biscuits and ladle that creamy sausage gravy over the top. Serve immediately.
