Biscuits and Gravy for Two

These Biscuits and Gravy for Two have southern-style sausage gravy and flaky homemade biscuits. This recipe for two is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner and is ready in just 30 minutes. If you want more heat you can add a pinch of cayenne to the gravy.

Sausage gravy is also delicious over fried breakfast potatoes, hash browns, mashed potatoes, grits, and toast.

Biscuits from scratch can be stored, well wrapped, at room temperature for several days. Freeze for longer storage. Biscuits are always best when they’re re-warmed before serving.

How to make Biscuits and Gravy for Two

For the Homemade Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the middle.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.

Work the butter into the flour mixture with a fork, pastry blender, or stand mixer, until crumbly like breadcrumbs.

Drizzle the milk evenly over the flour mixture. Mix quickly and gently for about 15 seconds, until a soft dough forms. If the mixture seems dry and won’t come together, drizzle in just enough extra milk to make the dough form.

Place the dough on a floured work surface. Pat it into a rough rectangle about 3”x6” and 3/4″ thick.

Fold it into thirds like a letter.

Roll gently with a floured rolling pin until the dough is about 3”x6” and 3/4″ thick again.

Cut the dough into two circles with a 3” round biscuit cutter (Press straight down, don’t twist the cutter). Form a third biscuit with the left over dough scraps if desired.

Place the biscuits bottom side up on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush the biscuits lightly with milk, for better browning.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove them from the oven, and serve warm.

For the Sausage Gravy

While the biscuits bake, brown the sausage in a large saucepan.

Drain the grease and return the sausage to the pan.

Add the flour, butter, and cream. Cook on medium-low, stirring often, for several minutes until thickened.

Sprinkle in the thyme and black pepper.

Serve the gravy over the warm biscuits.
