Ingredients
For the biscuits
- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 8 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cold
- 1/3 cup FAGE Sour Cream, cold
- 1/2 cup whole milk, cold
For the sausage gravy
- 16 oz. ground pork sausage
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
For the biscuits:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Set out a baking sheet.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
- Cut butter into the flour mixture: I find it easiest to do this in a food processor. Pulse the butter ~10 times until small clumps of butter are formed/size of peas. Or, you can use a pastry cutter if you have one.
- Transfer the flour mixture back into the medium sized bowl.
- Whisk together the FAGE Sour Cream and milk until smooth.
- Drizzle the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, tossing with a fork to incorporate. Dough will be shaggy and look a little dry, that’s OK.
- Turn out the mixture onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Gently turn and press the dough to bring it together into a 1 inch rectangle.
- Using a knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 4 sections. Stack the dough on top of one another and press down to flatten. Using a rolling pin, gently roll dough out into a 1 inch thick rectangle.
- Cut into rounds using a biscuit butter. Press straight down and avoid twisting or jiggling the cutter. Press dough back together and cut out 2-3 more biscuits. (recipe is small batch, you will have 4-6 biscuits total.) Try not to re-roll scraps too much, biscuit dough should be handled gently.
- Place biscuits on a baking sheet touching each other. Place in freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Brush melted butter over the tops of the biscuits. Lower oven temperature to 400°F and bake for 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and brush with more melted butter and flaky sea salt, if desired. Serve with sausage gravy.
Cup of Yum
For the sausage gravy
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the sausage to the pan. Using a wooden spoon, break up the sausage and cook until well browned and no more pink remains. (leave the grease in the pan)
- Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle flour over sausage and stir for 1-2 minutes so sausage soaks up flour.
- Gradually pour milk into pan, about 1 cup at a time, stirring frequently. Turn heat up so gravy can begin to bubble and thicken. Continue adding in the milk and allow the gravy to cook until it thickens, can take 8-10 minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Split the biscuits in half and top sausage gravy on each biscuit
Notes
- If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can cut the biscuits into squares using a knife. This is also a nice option because you won't have any scraps.
- This small batch recipe makes 4-6 biscuits, depending on how thick you make the biscuits. It's the perfect amount to enjoy with the sausage gravy!
