Old Fashioned Biscuits and Gravy Recipe
These easy Old Fashioned Biscuits and Gravy have homemade creamy southern-style sausage gravy and large flaky buttermilk biscuits using just 7 ingredients and 7 easy steps. And the best part is it's ready in about 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 large buttermilk biscuits (from a can)
- 1 pound ground pork sausage (mild or spicy)
- 2 Tablespoons flour
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the canned biscuit package directions.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake according to the package directions.
- While the biscuits bake, brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Use a colander to drain the grease, if preferred, and return the sausage to the pan.
- Add the flour, butter, and cream. Cook on medium-low, stirring often, for several minutes until thickened.
- Sprinkle in the thyme and black pepper.
- Serve the warm gravy over the warm biscuits.
Notes
- If you like spicy heat, you can add a pinch of cayenne to the gravy.
- I bake all 8 biscuits and use the leftovers for something else. Or you could double the gravy and make 8 servings.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
