American Buttermilk Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2 In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for the biscuits.
3. 3 Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. 4 Pour in the cold buttermilk and mix gently with a fork until the dough just comes together.
5. 5 Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead lightly, then roll out to about 1-inch thickness. Cut with a biscuit cutter and place on the prepared baking sheet.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
7. 7 While the biscuits are baking, prepare the sausage gravy. In a large skillet, cook the crumbled sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through.
8. 8 Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir well, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
9. 9 Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
10. 10 Season the gravy with black pepper and salt to taste.
11. 11 Serve the hot biscuits smothered with sausage gravy.
