Herb Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Herb Biscuits with Sausage Gravy.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 450°F (230°C), setting the stage for some delicious biscuits.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a measuring cup and mix together some skim milk and white vinegar.

3. Step 3

   Let this sit for about 5 to 10 minutes; this little trick will help the milk curdle, giving your biscuits a lovely texture.

4. Step 4

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, and a delightful blend of oregano, basil, and thyme.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to add some cold butter.

6. Step 6

   Use a pastry cutter to blend it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, like a sandy beach.

7. Step 7

   Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and gradually pour in the curdled milk, adding it a little at a time—about 1/4 cup at a go.

8. Step 8

   Stir gently with a wooden spoon until the dough feels slightly tacky but still moldable; you might not need all the milk, and that’s perfectly fine.

9. Step 9

   Next, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

10. Step 10

    Dust the top with a bit more flour and gently fold the dough over itself 5 to 6 times.

11. Step 11

    Shape it into a disc about 1 inch thick, being careful not to overwork it.

12. Step 12

    Now comes the fun part! Using a 1-inch biscuit cutter, press straight down into the dough and give it a slight twist to release the biscuit.

13. Step 13

    Place each biscuit on a baking sheet in two rows, letting them just touch.

14. Step 14

    This helps them rise beautifully as they bake.

15. Step 15

    If you have leftover dough, simply re-form it and cut out more biscuits.

16. Step 16

    Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let them bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they’re fluffy and a lovely golden brown.

17. Step 17

    While those biscuits are baking to perfection, it’s time to cook the sausage.

18. Step 18

    In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks—this should take about 5 minutes.

19. Step 19

    In a separate saucepan, melt some butter and stir in flour, salt, and your favorite seasonings, cooking for about a minute.

20. Step 20

    Gradually whisk in milk, continuing to stir until the gravy thickens, which should take around 2 minutes.

21. Step 21

    If your gravy ends up a bit too thick, don’t worry! Just add a splash of chicken broth until it reaches your desired consistency.

22. Step 22

    Once the biscuits are out of the oven and still warm, split them open and generously ladle the savory sausage gravy over the top.

23. Step 23

    Enjoy this comforting dish that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any time you crave a little indulgence!.
