Homemade Sausage Gravy and Biscuits

I make a commission from purchases made through links in my posts, at no extra cost to you. Read my disclosure for more information.

This is the best homemade country sausage gravy and biscuits recipe and it is so easy to make. I always serve this sausage gravy with my flaky biscuits recipe, see the video below. My family enjoys it when I make sausage gravy and biscuit on Christmas morning. I also make a pan of scrambled eggs to go with it. This is what we do every Christmas morning after opening gifts.

Sometime I will make sausage gravy and biscuit for Thanksgiving morning too. To make this recipe easier, I usually make the biscuit dough ahead of time and then cut them out. I will freeze the biscuits and only pull out what I need the night before. That way they can defrost in the fridge and be ready the next morning.

6. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes. Stir in the sausage and seasonings.
   
7. Split the biscuits in half and top each biscuit with some of the gravy and serve immediately.

Homemade Flaky Biscuits

These soft flaky biscuits are perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter Dinner! We also enjoy these biscuits with sausage gravy and scrambled eggs. Here is a link to the sausage gravy recipe! I usually double this recipe make a few dozen rolls at once. That way I can make this once a year and freeze the extra for another holiday dinner. Talk about a big time saver!

4. Rub 2 tablespoons of the cold butter into the flour with your fingertips until completely absorbed. (or use a food processor)
   
5. Work the remaining cold butter into the flour until it is in even pieces about the size of a pea. (or use a food processor)
   
6. Gently stir the milk into the flour mixture to make a loose dough.

Wait two hours before removing the rolls from the freezer. Transfer the rolls to a large ziplock and remove excess air from the bag. Put the rolls back into the freezer for later use.

How to use frozen biscuits:

Arrange frozen rolls 2 inches apart on baking sheets coated with nonstick cooking spray. Cover and thaw in refrigerator overnight. Bake at 350 *F for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Then transfer them to a baking rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Homemade Flaky Biscuits Recipe

Michelle – Nerdy Moms United

These are the best homemade flaky biscuits. This flaky biscuits recipe is great for dinner or breakfast. I have tried several biscuit recipes on Pinterest but it came down to mix two different recipes together to create this recipe. None of the recipes came close to this one! I know my family enjoys these biscuits and I bet yours will too!

I usually make these biscuits for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and goes well with my sausage gravy recipe too. I usually double this recipe make a few dozen rolls at once. That way I can make this once a year and freeze the extra for another holiday dinner. Talk about a big time saver! I also give instructions on how to freeze and unfreeze the biscuits.
