Equipment
Ingredients
For the Homemade Biscuits:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp butter (at room temperature)
- ⅓ cup cold whole milk
For the Sausage Gravy:
- ½ lb. ground pork sausage
- 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 Tbsp butter
- ⅛ tsp dried thyme
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
For the 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 and 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 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.

Notes
- Biscuits 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.
