Handy Sausage Biscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Heat sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, crumbling with a spoon and stirring often, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add butter to skillet and melt. Sprinkle flour evenly over skillet and stir for 1 minute. Whisk in 2 1/2 cups milk and scrape up any bits off the bottom of the skillet. Bring mixture to a simmer.
• Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 10 minutes. If mixture becomes too thick, thin slightly by adding more milk or water. Season with hot sauce, pepper, and salt; cook for 1 more minute.
• Serve immediately over hot biscuits.

Steps:

• In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain well and set aside. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Stir in the sausage. , In another bowl, dissolve yeast in water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add buttermilk. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , On a lightly floured surface, gently knead dough 6-8 times. Roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a 2 in. biscuit cutter. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. , Brush tops with butter. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until well-browned, breaking it up into small pieces. Let cool completely, either on the counter or in the freezer.
• Mix together the butter and sour cream in a stand mixer. Mix in the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing until fully combined. Add the sausage and cheddar, and mix until well incorporated.
• Drop heaping spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Put the sausage in a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet. (If it's in links, squeeze it into the pan, and discard the casing.) Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring and breaking the sausage into tiny bits, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. If the sausage sticks to the pan, add 1/2 teaspoon neutral oil. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature. You should have a scant 2 cups cooked sausage bits.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper.
• Add the butter and toss to coat with the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, press and cut in the butter until coarse crumbs form with some peanut-size pieces remaining. Toss in the chopped sage and sausage until evenly coated. Add the buttermilk and mix with a fork until no dry bits remain and mixture forms a mass.
• Lightly flour a work surface and turn the dough out onto it. With lightly floured hands or rolling pin, pat or roll the dough into an 8-by-10-inch rectangle (about 1/2-inch thick). Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 2-inch squares. Put on the prepared sheet, spacing 1 inch apart.
• If the dough has softened, refrigerate or freeze until stiff. Brush the tops of the dough squares with butter and press a sage leaf onto each. Grind pepper on top.
• Bake until well risen, and the edges are just beginning to brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Cool on the pan on a rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature, wrapped in a napkin to eat out of hand.

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.

Steps:

• MIX TOGETHER USING HANDS.
• FORM INTO 1 TO 1/2 INCH BALLS.
• BAKE AT 350 FOR 20 TO 25 MINUTES TILL GOLDEN BROWN.
• EAT AND ENJOY.

Steps:

• For the sausage gravy:
• In a large heavy bottom pot melt the tablespoon of butter and brown the sausage for about 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Once at a simmer, add the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and maple syrup. Simmer the gravy for 15 minutes and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• For the biscuits:
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a bowl sift together the dry ingredients. Add the butter and incorporate the flour into it until the texture is consistent. Pour the milk into the flour mixture and mix with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out until it's about 1-inch thick. Cut the dough vertically and then horizontally, yielding approximately 15 square biscuits. Lay the biscuits out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Glaze the top of each biscuit with a little bit of cream and place the sheet in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden in color.
• Assemble by placing a biscuit on a plate and covering it with about 1/2 a cup of the sausage gravy.

Steps:

• First, cut 4 sausage patties off your sausage roll. Cook until done. Remove and keep warm. (This is optional, if you don't want a sausage patty on the side, you can just cut off enough sausage from the roll to equal 4 sausage patties -- my son always ask for a sausage patty on the side LOL).
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and cook your biscuits.
• Place the rest of the sausage in the skillet (do not use a non stick skillet, they don't make good gravy -- cast iron is preferred!) Break up the sausage so that it is in small pieces. Cook until there is no longer any pink color in the sausage. Remove any grease over 2 1/2 tbsp, but do not remove more than that!
• Reduce the heat to low, and slowly stir in the flour. Stir until blended, and cook for about 1 minute.
• Slowly stir in the milk, increasing the heat to medium high until boiling. You must constantly stir to keep from getting lumps in your gravy! Once it is boiling, reduce the heat, and continue to stir until your gravy reaches the desired consistency. For my house, this takes about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the amount of grease in the sausage. Be sure to check your biscuits to make sure they are not getting overdone -- remove them from the oven when they are at your desired brownness.
• Once the gravy has reached your desired thickness, sprinkle in the salt and pepper according to your taste. I've never tested this, but my mama and grandmama told me that if you add the salt and pepper too early, your gravy will be "flat". I don't know what that means, but I'm not about to break their rule!
