Ingredients
Scale
For the Biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cubed)
- ¾ cup buttermilk
For the Sausage Gravy
- 300 g breakfast sausage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
For the Scrambled Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the Biscuits Preheat oven to 220°C / 425°F. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until dough forms. Roll dough to about 1 inch thick and cut biscuits. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
- Prepare the Sausage Gravy Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir well. Slowly add milk while stirring constantly. Simmer until gravy thickens (5–7 minutes). Season with black pepper and salt.
- Make Scrambled Eggs Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add eggs and cook slowly, stirring gently until soft and fluffy.
- Assemble the Dish Split warm biscuits in half. Spoon sausage gravy generously over the biscuits. Serve with scrambled eggs on the side.
Notes
- Fresh cracked black pepper is key to authentic Southern sausage gravy flavor.
- If gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
- Store-bought biscuits can be used for a quicker version.
- Add shredded cheddar to scrambled eggs for extra richness.
