Southern Comfort: Biscuits and Gravy Recipe

Gather Ingredients: You’ll need all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, butter, milk, ground sausage, and black pepper.

Make the Biscuits: In a bowl, mix 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in ½ cup cold butter until crumbly.

Add Milk: Pour in ¾ cup milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat to 1-inch thickness, and cut out biscuits. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes.

Prepare the Gravy: In a skillet, brown 1 pound of sausage over medium heat. Remove sausage and leave drippings in the pan.

Make Roux: Sprinkle ¼ cup flour into the drippings, stirring for about 2 minutes until golden.

Add Milk and Season: Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk, adding salt and plenty of black pepper to taste. Cook until thickened.
