Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 lb ground pork sausage
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in milk until just combined.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead gently until smooth. Pat into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Cut out biscuits with a round cutter and place on an ungreased baking sheet; bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- While biscuits bake, cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes).
- Sprinkle flour over cooked sausage; stir well to combine. Gradually pour in milk and cream while stirring; bring to simmer and cook until thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Split warm biscuits open and ladle gravy generously over each half before serving.
