Ingredients
  

Biscuits:
  • ½ Cup of Butter
  • 2 ½ Cups of Flour
  • 4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 4 tsp Sugar
  • ½ tsp Cornstarch
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 2 Cups of Buttermilk
Sausage Gravy:
  • 1 lb of Ground Sausage
  • 1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • ½ tsp Onion Powder
  • ¼ tsp Sage
  • ½ Cup of Flour
  • 1 ½ Cups of Milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Melt ½ cup of butter in a deep 9x9 baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients for the biscuits. Create a well in the middle and add the buttermilk. Mix until the batter resembles cake batter. Pour the batter into the melted butter and spread it out.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check halfway to ensure the tops are not getting too brown. If needed, cover with foil. Insert a toothpick into the middle, and when it comes out clean, the biscuits are done.
  4. Brown the sausage with 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil. Once browned, add all the seasonings, followed by flour. Cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in milk, ½ cup at a time, until the gravy thickens.
  5. Cut the biscuits into squares and top with hot sausage gravy.
