Best Biscuits and Gravy Recipe (From Scratch)
Ingredients
- 1 portion of homemade biscuits 12 biscuits
- 16 oz breakfast sausage
- 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare biscuits from scratch and bake.
- Meanwhile, add the breakfast sausage to a skillet over medium heat and break it up with a meat chopper as it cooks.
- Once the sausage is cooked through, stir in the chicken broth, heavy whipping cream, butter, and flour.
- Season everything with salt and pepper to taste.
- Turn the heat down and cook until the gravy thickens.
- Serve the gravy over warm biscuits, and enjoy!
Notes
- Use cold butter for the biscuits. Cold butter is the key to soft, flaky homemade biscuits with perfect layers.
- Taste the gravy as you cook. Since breakfast sausage can vary in saltiness, season gradually and adjust after tasting to avoid overly salty gravy.
- Serve fresh. Biscuits and gravy are best enjoyed warm, with freshly baked biscuits and hot, creamy gravy.
- Store separately. Keep leftover biscuits and gravy in separate containers for the best texture. Store gravy in the fridge for up to 3 days, and biscuits tightly sealed at room temperature for a few days.
- Reheat gently. Warm the gravy in a skillet over low heat until heated through. Reheat the biscuits in the oven for a few minutes until warm.
- Freeze the gravy. Sausage gravy freezes well for up to 3 months. Let it cool completely before storing in a freezer-safe container. Reheat on the stovetop over low heat and serve with fresh biscuits.
