BISCUITS AND GRAVY



Biscuits and Gravy image

This is not the traditional way to make biscuits, but it may become your new technique. Instead of preparing individual drop biscuits, a sturdy dough is spread out into a baking dish over a bed of melted butter. Scoring the biscuit dough allows the butter to seep into the sides as the biscuits bake, creating tall biscuits with crisp edges and flaky insides. They're perfect to soak up a classic Southern gravy, warmly seasoned with sage and nutmeg. This dish tastes like the holidays in the best way possible, while still being light enough for brunch. But if you made it for dinner, we wouldn't blame you.

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 3/4 cups/340 grams all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup/240 milliliters buttermilk, at room temperature
1 (5.3-ounce) container full-fat Greek yogurt, at room temperature
1/2 cup/112 grams salted butter, melted, plus more as needed
12 ounces raw breakfast sausage, casings removed
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, grated or chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted chicken stock
1 small bay leaf
2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, preferably freshly cracked
1/2 teaspoon ground sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne, plus more to taste
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage (from about 8 leaves)
Salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Prepare the biscuits: In a medium bowl, using a wooden spoon, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix together buttermilk and yogurt, add to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Pour melted butter into an 8-inch glass baking dish and place dough on top of melted butter. Using your hands, spread dough evenly across the dish until it touches the sides. (If the dough starts to stick to your fingers, use a little butter on your fingertips to keep it from sticking.)
  • Run a knife through the dough to score 9 equal squares. Bake until golden brown at the bottom, 20 to 25 minutes. Brush with more butter on top and set aside.
  • While the biscuits bake, make the sausage gravy: Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 10 minutes, stirring and breaking up any large pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  • Add the onion to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir the flour into the sausage mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until it blends into the sausage fat. (You want to make sure it's cooked enough that the flour taste goes away, but not so cooked that it's toasted.)
  • Slowly add the chicken stock and bay leaf, stirring the sausage mixture until combined. Continue cooking for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the milk and continue stirring. When the gravy begins to simmer, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 7 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
  • Add black pepper, paprika, cayenne and nutmeg (if using); stir to mix well. Add parsley and sage. Remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Remove the cooked biscuits by cutting them along the scoring lines and using a spatula to pop them out. Slice the biscuits to split them horizontally, then serve the sausage gravy over the open halves.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality biscuit mix or make your own biscuits from scratch for the best results.
  • Make sure the biscuits are cooked all the way through before adding the gravy.
  • Use a flavorful sausage for the gravy. You can use ground pork, beef, or turkey sausage, depending on your preference.
  • Add some vegetables to the gravy for extra nutrition and flavor. Diced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms are all good choices.
  • Season the gravy to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
  • Serve the biscuits and gravy immediately while they are hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Biscuits and gravy is a classic Southern comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. With a few simple tips, you can make the best biscuits and gravy you've ever tasted. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or brunch, give this recipe a try.
