• 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.

Step 3

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

Add 0.75 cups of whole milk and stir until the dough begins to come together.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently, about 5-6 times.

Roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a 2.5-inch round cutter.

Step 7

Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 8

While biscuits are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook 0.5 pounds of low-sodium breakfast sausage until browned. Remove sausage and drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 9

In the same skillet, add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the sausage drippings, cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Gradually add 1.5 cups of low-sodium chicken broth, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken.

Add 1 cup of low-fat milk to the skillet and continue stirring until the gravy is creamy and well combined.
