Bacon Gravy Biscuit (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Biscuit Dough
01 -
3/4 cup milk
02 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and chopped up
03 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
04 -
1 tablespoon baking powder
05 -
2 cups plain flour
→ Gravy
06 -
Salt, as much as you like
07 -
Black pepper, sprinkle to taste
08 -
3 cups milk
09 -
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
10 -
1 pound breakfast sausage
→ Topping
11 -
6 slices beef bacon
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Break the hot biscuits in two and put 'em on plates. Spoon over the rich sausage gravy and top with the crumbled bacon. Eat while it's fresh and hot.
02 -
Take the skillet off the heat once your gravy looks thick and smooth. Add black pepper and a good pinch of salt. Give it a final stir.
03 -
As your biscuits are baking, toss sausage into another skillet. Keep it over medium and keep breaking it up as it cooks. Throw in the flour, stir for a bit, and let it cook together for a couple minutes.
04 -
Mix in the milk until you have a soft dough. Dust your work top with flour, roll it out to about 1.5 cm thick, and punch out biscuits with a cutter. Place them on a tray and stick them in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until they're golden.
05 -
Get a big bowl and toss in the flour, salt, and baking powder. Drop the cold butter bits in and work them through with your fingers or cutter until it all feels a bit like crumbs.
06 -
First, heat the oven up to 425°F (218°C). Fry the bacon in a skillet on medium until it's crispy. Pop it onto a plate lined with paper towel and, after it cools, crumble it up and set it aside.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Make sure your butter's icy cold for biscuits that bake up puffy and tender.
02 -
Let your sausage get nicely browned before adding any flour, or you'll get a weird gravy texture.
03 -
Pour milk in slow, keep whisking fast, and your sauce will turn out glossy and lump-free.
04 -
Best served right away while everything is still warm and soft.
05 -
Stash bacon, biscuits, and gravy away in different containers if prepping ahead, then heat them gently and put it all together when you're ready to eat.
