Steps
- 1
SAUSAGE: Ingredients for sausage! Adjust cayenne pepper to desired spice level. Nutmeg is optional.
- 2
Mix together all spices and salt with pork. Use a fork and don't mash too much. Let sit for a few hours if possible.
- 3
BISCUITS: Ingredients! You can use shortening or lard in place of butter. If you don't have buttermilk, mix 120 ml milk + 120 ml yogurt (OR 225 ml whole milk + 1 Tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar + pinch salt. Let it sit for 30 minutes.)
- 4
Mix flour with baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar.
- 5
Cut in chilled butter using two forks, or massage in with hands, until it forms pea-size lumps.
- 6
It will look something like this.
- 7
Slowly add the buttermilk and mix roughly with a fork. Be careful not to knead it.
- 8
Mix until the dough sticks together in a big lump.
- 9
Line a baking pan with wax paper, etc. Using a spoon, scoop out chunks of biscuit dough and just drop it on the pan. Leave a little space in between biscuits.
- 10
Preheat oven to 425/220. Bake for 15-16 min until golden brown.
- 11
Remove from oven and brush with melted butter. Let sit for 2-3 min on the pan.
- 12
GRAVY: While biscuits are baking, prepare the gravy!
- 13
Heat a frying pan on medium and fry the sausage until browned. Crumble it up into chunks as you're frying.
- 14
Remove browned sausage, leaving the fat in the pan. Add 1 Tablespoon flour to the pan and 1 Tablespoon butter if there isn't much oil from the sausage.
- 15
Saute the flour and fat/butter for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- 16
Slowly pour in about 1 cup of milk.
- 17
Bring the milk to a simmer on medium. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- 18
Add the browned sausage and simmer for about 3 minutes until the gravy thickens. Stir frequently.
- 19
Add more milk if it's too thick. Add salt and pepper to taste (I added about 1/4 tsp each).
- 20
Serve with hot biscuits. There's a couple ways to eat: - You can break up the biscuits and pour gravy over top - Slice the biscuit and half and pour over gravy - Or just leave the biscuits whole and pour over top!
