Indulge in a classic Southern comfort food experience with our delightful Country Sausage Gravy and Buttermilk Biscuits! This hearty and flavorful dish is a perfect blend of savory sausage gravy and fluffy, golden-brown biscuits. Our detailed recipe guide will take you through every step of the process, ensuring you create a delectable meal that will warm your soul.
**The Country Sausage Gravy**
Our sausage gravy is made with a combination of ground sausage, all-purpose flour, milk, and a blend of seasonings. The sausage is cooked until brown and crispy, then combined with the flour to create a roux. Milk is gradually whisked in, creating a thick and creamy gravy. Seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder add depth of flavor, while a dash of cayenne pepper provides a subtle kick.
**The Buttermilk Biscuits**
Our buttermilk biscuits are made with a combination of all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, and butter. The dough is mixed until it just comes together, then rolled out and cut into rounds. The biscuits are brushed with melted butter and baked until golden brown. They are light and fluffy on the inside, with a crispy exterior that perfectly complements the rich sausage gravy.
**Additional Delights**
For those who enjoy a bit of variation, our recipe article also includes instructions for making a vegetarian version of the gravy, using mushrooms instead of sausage. Additionally, we provide a recipe for homemade sausage patties, allowing you to control the quality and flavor of your sausage.
So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's embark on a culinary journey that will leave you craving more!

BUTTERMILK SAUSAGE GRAVY
This is my husband's recipe that was handed down to him by his grandmother. His grandmother stated that you must use Farmer John® sausage and bacon drippings or it would not taste as delicious as hers. It was never written down, just a pinch of this and a handful of that. I finally got him to measure everything and this is the result.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Combine the buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and gently mix until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly using the heel of your hand to compress and push the dough away from you, and then fold it back over itself. Give the dough a small turn and repeat eight or so times. (It's not yeast bread; you want to just barely activate the gluten, not overwork it.) Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out 1/2 inch thick. Cut out rounds of dough with a 1 1/2-inch round cutter dipped in flour; press the cutter straight down without twisting so the biscuits will rise evenly when baked.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using a wooden spoon, break up the meat into small pieces. Cook until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour off any excess rendered fat. Add the onions and cook until clear and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and stir to combine and coat. Add the milk and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool just slightly. Split and serve hot with the sausage gravy.

Steps:
- Before you get started, get your biscuit's on a pan following the pkg. directions.
- While your sausage if frying up, put your biscuits in the oven, by time your done make this, your biscuits will be done, and nice and hot.
- In a large frying pan, brown your sausage and break it up with a snake potato masher or fork.
- Once it is nicely browned, pull sausage to the sides of the pan so that the drippings drain into the middle.
- Spoon a 1/2 cup of the flour into the drippings and mix good till it's nice and brown, add a little more flour if need be.
- Once you have the flour browned, start folding in the sausage.
- Mix 2 cups water with 1 cup milk and stir together.
- Start slowly pouring the milk and water mix into the the sausage mixture,.
- Only pour what you need to get a nice consistency.
- (Tip): if you need to add more flour after the milk and water have been added, you need to add the flour to a little cool water, stir till smooth, then add that to your sausage mixture, otherwise like any other gravy, you will get flour lumps.
- Use your judgement on adding more milk or water to your taste.
- * Don't forget: heat of flame must be at least Medium High heat so that the flour will expand and smooth out.
- Once you get it to how you like it, turn your heat down, you don't want to burn your gravy. AND -- the gravy will thicken as it sits, so don't make it too thick.
- Add salt and pepper and a teaspoons of sage. (the sage is to your taste also, but we've been using it since I was born., and it just makes it wonderful. If you like Bob Evans sausage gravy, you love this even more).
- Pour over freshly baked buttermilk biscuits -- or your own.
- ( but if your making your own, make them first before you even think of making this gravy).
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality sausage: The quality of the sausage you use will greatly impact the flavor of your gravy. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, flavorful pork and has a good balance of spices.
- Cook the sausage over medium heat: This will help to prevent the sausage from browning too quickly and becoming dry. Cook the sausage until it is no longer pink in the center.
- Use a good quality flour: The type of flour you use will also affect the flavor and texture of your gravy. All-purpose flour is a good option, but you can also use bread flour or self-rising flour. If you use self-rising flour, be sure to omit the baking powder from the recipe.
- Cook the flour mixture until it is golden brown: This will help to develop the flavor of the gravy and give it a rich, dark color. Be sure to stir the flour mixture constantly to prevent it from burning.
- Add milk or cream gradually: This will help to prevent the gravy from curdling. Add the milk or cream in small increments, stirring constantly until the gravy reaches the desired consistency.
- Season the gravy to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
Conclusion:
Country sausage gravy and buttermilk biscuits are a classic Southern comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit. The key to making a great gravy is to use high-quality sausage, cook the flour mixture until it is golden brown, and add the milk or cream gradually. The biscuits are light and fluffy, and they are the perfect accompaniment to the rich, flavorful gravy. This dish is sure to become a family favorite.
