Tips:
- Use a good quality biscuit mix. This will make a big difference in the final product.
- Be sure to use cold butter when making the biscuits. This will help them to be flaky and tender.
- Don't overmix the biscuit dough. Overmixing will make the biscuits tough.
- Let the biscuits rest for a few minutes before baking. This will help them to rise properly.
- Use a cast iron skillet to make the gravy. This will help to give the gravy a nice browned flavor.
- Be sure to use a good quality sausage for the gravy. This will also make a big difference in the final product.
- Don't overcook the gravy. Overcooked gravy will be thick and gloppy.
- Serve the biscuits and gravy immediately. This is when they are at their best.
