This is the best biscuits and gravy recipe and is shockingly simple to make. This entire breakfast can be made from scratch with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry! Read on to learn how!
Classic Biscuits and Gravy are a hearty, staple breakfast food, and while there are plenty of pre-made options available in the stores, everyone can learn how to make biscuits and gravy at home. The best part is that this sausage gravy and biscuits recipe requires no fancy or unusual ingredients. The biscuits can be made with ingredients I would bet you already have in your pantry (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, butter, and milk) and this sausage gravy recipe needs just three ingredients! I started with my all-time favorite easy biscuit recipe for buttery soft biscuits with plenty of flaky layers. These biscuits are so simple to make, just be sure that you don’t overwork the dough when handling it or your biscuits will come out tough. Sure, you could pop open a tube of pre-made biscuits from the store instead of making them from scratch, but nothing really compares to homemade biscuits and gravy.
Making a homemade gravy to serve with your biscuits is probably much easier than you think! You’ll need to start with a pound of pork breakfast sausage (for this recipe I use one that has been seasoned with sage). You’ll place this in a cold (or at least room temperature — not preheated) skillet and place the sausage and skillet over medium/high heat. Cook the sausage until it is no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles as you cook. Do not drain off any extra grease after cooking your sausage. Instead, you’ll add a quarter cup of all-purpose flour by sprinkling it evenly over the sausage. Cook these together for about a minute, turning the meat with a spatula until the flour is absorbed, and then slowly add 2 1/4 cup of milk to the pan, stirring as you add the milk. Continue to cook the ingredients until the gravy has thickened and serve immediately over warm, fresh, biscuits. There you have it, southern biscuits and gravy! Let’s re-cap that briefly.
How Do You Make Biscuit Gravy From Scratch?
Brown the pork (do not drain) Sprinkle flour evenly over pork and cook until absorbed (about 1 minute) Add milk and cook until thickened.
Three ingredients and three steps. There’s really no reason to not make biscuits and gravy from scratch.
What Do You Serve With Biscuits And Gravy?
Easy biscuits and gravy are a classic breakfast food and would be best served with other hearty breakfast foods. I like to serve mine alongside my other favorites including overnight breakfast casserole and buttermilk pancakes. If you’re looking for a lighter counterpart, fresh sliced fruit or Vanilla Pudding Fruit Salad would also work nicely! Enjoy! Repin this Easy Breakfast Recipe © SpendWithPennies.com.
