The easiest from scratch biscuits & gravy!

Ingredients (biscuits)

3 cups (15 ounces) all-purpose flour

4 teaspoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

1¼ teaspoons table salt

2 cups heavy cream

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (optional)

Ingredients (sausage gravy)

• 1 lb pork breakfast sausage I recommend using sage flavored

• ¼ cup all-purpose (plain) flour

• 2 ½ cups whole milk

• ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper optional

• salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions (biscuits)

1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Microwave cream until just warmed to body temperature (95 to 100 degrees), 60 to 90 sec-onds, stirring halfway through microwaving. Stir cream into four mixture until soft, uniform dough forms.

2. Spray 1-cup dry measuring cup with vegetable oil spray. Drop level scoops of batter 2 inches apart on prepared sheet (biscuits should measure about 2½ inches wide and 1¼ inches tall). Respray measuring up after every 3 or 4 scoops. If portions are misshapen, use your fingertips to gently reshape dough into level cylinders. Bake until tops are light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through baking. Brush hot biscuits with melted butter, if using. Serve warm. (Biscuits can be stored in zipper-lock bag at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Reheat biscuits in 300-degree oven for 10 mins)

Instructions (sausage gravy)

• Place sausage in a skillet over medium/high heat. 

• Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break up and crumble sausage as it cooks, cooking until completely browned and no pink remains. Do not drain your skillet.

• Sprinkle flour evenly over the sausage crumbles. Stir frequently until flour is absorbed (about 1 minute).

• Slowly drizzle the milk into your skillet, stirring as you pour. Add crushed red pepper, if using.

• Continue to cook, stirring frequently until mixture is thickened and desired consistency is reached.

• Add salt and pepper to taste and serve warm over homemade biscuits! Enjoy!#biscuits #breakfast #baking #bread #gravy #cooking
