Ingredients
  

For the Biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

For the Sausage Gravy:

  • 1 pound pork sausage mild or spicy
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper add more for a true Peppered Sausage Gravy Recipe
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt adjust to taste

Instructions
 

Biscuits:

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually stir in the buttermilk until the dough just comes together (don’t overmix!).
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut biscuits using a round cutter.
  • Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Sausage Gravy:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Remove any excess grease.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to coat evenly.
  • Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.
  • Cook the mixture until it thickens, stirring frequently (this is how Pioneer Sausage Gravy gets its creamy consistency).
  • Season with black pepper and salt to taste.
