A comforting and easy-to-make breakfast bake featuring flaky biscuits soaked in creamy, peppery sausage gravy. Perfect for cozy mornings and weekend brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild sage-flavored pork sausage preferred)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for thickening gravy)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuit dough)
  • 3 cups whole milk, room temperature (can substitute almond or oat milk)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, plus extra for serving
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 8 large flaky biscuits (homemade or store-bought)
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg or splash of hot sauce for gravy

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Cut in cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in 3/4 cup milk and stir just until dough comes together. Add more milk by tablespoon if dough is too dry.
  5. Turn dough onto floured surface and pat into 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out 8 biscuits and place in prepared baking dish.
  6. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and crumbly, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
  7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup flour over cooked sausage and stir for 1-2 minutes to cook off raw flour taste.
  8. Slowly whisk in 2 1/4 cups milk, stirring continuously as mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Season gravy with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper; adjust seasoning to taste.
  10. Pour sausage gravy evenly over biscuits in baking dish, coating them well.
  11. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until biscuits are golden and gravy is bubbly.
  12. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow gravy to thicken slightly.

Notes

If gravy is too thick before baking, whisk in a splash more milk. If too thin, simmer longer on stove. Use cold butter for flaky biscuits. Rest bake after cooking for best texture. Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days or freeze before baking up to 2 months.
