Description
Classic Southern-style biscuits and gravy made with flaky, buttery homemade biscuits topped with rich, creamy Halal sausage gravy for a comforting and nostalgic meal.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3/4 cup whole milk or buttermilk
1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
1 lb Halal breakfast sausage, crumbled
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
Salt, to taste
A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk just until the dough comes together.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface, knead lightly, and pat to 1-inch thickness.
- Cut biscuits, place close together on the baking sheet, and bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
- Brush hot biscuits with melted butter.
- For the gravy, heat oil in a skillet and cook sausage until browned.
- Sprinkle flour over sausage and cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in milk and simmer until thickened.
- Season with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Split biscuits and serve hot with sausage gravy spooned over the top.
Notes
Keep butter cold for flaky biscuits.
Do not overmix biscuit dough.
Whole milk creates the creamiest gravy.
Gravy thickens as it cools.
