The steps to follow |
For the Biscuits:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
Cut in Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Buttermilk: Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to over mix.
Shape the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Fold the dough in half and pat it down again. Repeat this process 2-3 times to create flaky layers.
Cut Biscuits: Roll the dough to about 3/4 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet, close together but not touching.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown.
For the White Sausage Gravy:
Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s browned and cooked through.
Add EVOO to skillet
Add Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage. Stir well to coat the sausage with the flour. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
Add Milk: Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Season: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If the gravy becomes too thick, you can add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
