This is a perfectly rich, great-tasting breakfast option for that occasional Sunday morning when you don't care about calories! Ingredients:
biscuits |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
1 tablespoon white sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 egg, beaten |
2/3 cup milk |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
gravy |
1 (16 ounce) package bulk pork breakfast sausage (such as jimmy dean®) |
1/4 cup butter |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk |
1 1/2 cups water |
salt and ground black pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
2. Whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a bowl; cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly. Mix in egg and milk until incorporated. Turn dough out onto a well-floured work surface and knead for 1 minute.
3. Roll dough out to a thickness of 3/4 to 1-inch thick, cut with a biscuit cutter, and place biscuits onto prepared baking sheet. Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir 1/4 cup butter into sausage until butter has melted and mix in 1/4 cup flour until thoroughly combined. Pour evaporated milk and water into sausage mixture, bring gravy to a simmer, and reduce heat to low; simmer gravy until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.
6. Serve biscuits with sausage gravy.
