Biscuits and Gravy
Description
This classic Biscuits and Gravy recipe uses either canned or homemade biscuits served with a creamy sausage gravy. The gravy preparation starts by browning ground pork sausage, then adding butter and a blend of spices including garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Flour is incorporated to absorb the fats and create a roux, which is then gradually combined with whole milk to form a thick, smooth sauce.
The sausage gravy is simmered until thickened, then spooned over split warm biscuits. The flavor profile includes savory and aromatic spices paired with the richness of the sausage and creaminess from the milk and butter, offering a filling and traditional Southern-style dish.
The recipe suggests that leftover gravy can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheated with additional milk as needed to adjust thickness. Biscuits can also be made ahead, although the recipe notes they are best served warm from the oven.
Ingredients
- 8 Biscuits
Gravy
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 3 cups milk whole
Instructions
- Prepared canned biscuits or homemade biscuits according to directions.
- While biscuits are baking, prepare gravy.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ground pork to skillet and brown, breaking up sausage as it cooks with spatula, about 5 minutes.
- When sausage is browned, drain off grease.
- Add the butter to the skillet with pork sausage and let it melt. Then add flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook until the flour is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the milk to skillet, then turn up the heat to medium-high to bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer mixture, stirring occasionally, until the gravy is thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Split biscuits in half and serve sausage gravy on top.
Notes
- Store leftover gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days; reheat gently with added milk to adjust consistency.
- Prepare gravy up to a day in advance and warm before serving for convenience.
- Biscuits can be baked ahead but are best when fresh and warm from the oven.
