Creamy Biscuits And Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and stir just until the pieces are coated with the flour mixture. Whisk together the milk and egg in a small bowl. Add milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix the dough. Cut in the butter.
• Flour your workspace. Turn the dough onto the workspace and pat into a 1/2-inch-thick slab. Using a biscuit cutter (or any round rimmed object), cut out 8 to 10 biscuits. Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't touch, and bake until they've risen slightly and are lightly browned around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Top with butter and keep warm.
• For the sausage gravy: Heat a very large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until browned, about 15 minutes. Add the cream and thyme, bring to a simmer, and simmer for 25 minutes. Stir together the cornstarch and 1 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Stirring constantly, pour the slurry into the pot. Simmer, stirring often, until the gravy thickens.
• Split each biscuit in half and top with about ¾ cup of the sausage gravy. Extra gravy will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 7 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.

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.

Steps:

• Slice each biscuit in half and put a sausage patty on the bottom half of each. Top with cream gravy and parsley. Serve 2 biscuits per person with eggs on the side.
• Combine the pork, garlic, onion powder, sage, thyme and oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
• Form the mixture into 8 patties, each 1/2 inch thick. Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until golden brown and just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute without browning. Slowly whisk in the warm milk. Raise the heat to high and continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken and the raw taste of the flour has been cooked out, about 5 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Serve warm.
• Put the milk in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the cold butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and mix gently until the mixture just begins to come together.
• Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured counter. Pat into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle, about 3/4 inch thick. Use a 2-inch round cutter to cut out biscuits. Press together the scraps and repeat.
• Place the biscuits 2 inches apart on the baking sheet; brush the tops with the cream and sprinkle with pepper (use 2 teaspoons total). Bake until light golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Brush the biscuits with the melted butter and transfer them to a wire rack to cool at least slightly.
