Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 pound Breakfast sausage
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (for gravy)
• 2 cups Whole milk (for gravy)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for gravy)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for gravy)
• 4 Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

Cut in 6 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually stir in 3/4 cup of whole milk until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, gently knead it a few times, and roll it out to a 1-inch thickness.

Step 6

Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook 1 pound of breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through.

Step 9

Stir in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 10

Gradually pour in 2 cups of whole milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a creamy gravy. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 11

Reduce the heat to low to keep the gravy warm while you prepare the eggs.

Step 12

In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil over medium heat. Crack in the 4 eggs and cook sunny-side-up to your preferred firmness.

Step 13

To assemble, split the warm biscuits in half and place them on serving plates. Spoon the sausage gravy generously over the biscuits.

Step 14

Top each plate with a sunny-side-up egg and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Step 15

Serve immediately and enjoy your Biscuits Gravy Eggs Extraordinaire!
