Ingredients:
- For Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 3/4 cup milk
-
- For Sausage Gravy:
- 1/2 lb ground sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
-
Instructions:
- 1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3. Add the milk and stir until the dough comes together.
- 4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently a few times. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- 5. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- 6. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
-
- 7. While the biscuits are baking, cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up into crumbles. Once the sausage is fully cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine.
- 8. Cook the flour and sausage mixture for a minute or two to get rid of any raw flour taste.
- 9. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- 10. Continue cooking the gravy until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-10 minutes.
- 11. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
-
- Serve the warm, freshly baked biscuits with a generous serving of hot sausage gravy poured over the top.
