Best Makeover Biscuits Gravy Recipes

CREAMY BISCUITS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• 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.
• 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.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• 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.
• Serve biscuits with sausage gravy.

BISCUITS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Prepare the biscuits: In a medium bowl, using a wooden spoon, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix together buttermilk and yogurt, add to the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
• Pour melted butter into an 8-inch glass baking dish and place dough on top of melted butter. Using your hands, spread dough evenly across the dish until it touches the sides. (If the dough starts to stick to your fingers, use a little butter on your fingertips to keep it from sticking.)
• Run a knife through the dough to score 9 equal squares. Bake until golden brown at the bottom, 20 to 25 minutes. Brush with more butter on top and set aside.
• While the biscuits bake, make the sausage gravy: Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 10 minutes, stirring and breaking up any large pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula.
• Add the onion to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Stir the flour into the sausage mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until it blends into the sausage fat. (You want to make sure it's cooked enough that the flour taste goes away, but not so cooked that it's toasted.)
• Slowly add the chicken stock and bay leaf, stirring the sausage mixture until combined. Continue cooking for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the milk and continue stirring. When the gravy begins to simmer, lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 7 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
• Add black pepper, paprika, cayenne and nutmeg (if using); stir to mix well. Add parsley and sage. Remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Remove the cooked biscuits by cutting them along the scoring lines and using a spatula to pop them out. Slice the biscuits to split them horizontally, then serve the sausage gravy over the open halves.

EASY SAUSAGE GRAVY AND BISCUITS

Steps:

• Bake biscuits according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, cook sausage in large skillet over medium heat 5-6 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently. Stir in flour. Gradually add milk; cook until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Split biscuits in half. Place 2 halves on each of 8 plates; top with about 1/3 cup gravy.
