Description
Southern Biscuits with Sausage Gravy Bake is a delightful dish that brings comfort and warmth to any table, featuring flaky, buttery biscuits paired with rich, creamy sausage gravy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
- 2 cups milk (for gravy)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute.
- Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook and stir until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with black pepper to taste.
- In a greased baking dish, layer the baked biscuits and pour the sausage gravy over the top. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the gravy.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend.
