Biscuits & Sausage Gravy

A recipe for Uli’s Famous Breakfast Sausage

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes TOTAL
  • Cook Time:  20 minutes  TOTAL
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients:

INGREDIENTS FOR GRAVY:

  • 1 pound Uli’s Breakfast Sausage (about 8 links with casing removed)
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 cups milk.  I use whole milk, but cream could be used for a richer sauce

INGREDIENTS FOR BISCUITS:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¾ cup COLD butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup whole milk

Directions:

DIRECTIONS FOR GRAVY:

  • Crumble Uli’s Famous Breakfast Sausage into the pan and brown on medium heat.  Do not pour off drippings, if any.
  • After the sausage is cooked, add to the pan ¼ cup flour and stir to combine.  Cook for a minute or two.
  • Slowly add milk and cook until thickened.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon over biscuits.

 

DIRECTIONS FOR BISCUITS:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • The secret to excellent biscuits is COLD BUTTER. Really cold. Many times the biscuit dough gets worked so much that the butter softens before the biscuits even go in the oven. Try cutting the butter into small pieces and stick back in the fridge pulling out only when ready to incorporate into the dough.
  • Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Use a pastry cutter to cut cold butter into flour mixture. Don’t go too crazy here – you want to see small, pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough.
  • Add in the milk and egg and mix just until the ingredients are combined. The dough will be sticky but don’t keep working it. You should be able to see the butter pieces in the dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface. Sprinkle some flour on to the top of dough so it won’t stick to your fingers and knead 10-15 times. If the dough is super sticky just sprinkle on some additional flour.
  • Pat the dough out to 3/4 – 1 inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter or glass. I ended up with nine this time but depending on who is snacking on biscuit dough, I can get up to 12 biscuits.
  • Place the biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet or parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  • For extra yumminess, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
