Ingredients
- One 12-ounce tube bulk pork sausage
- two tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Baking Powder Biscuits, recipe follows
- Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (8 ounces), plus much more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 7 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, sliced
- 3/4 cup milk
- Glaze:
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Heat a sizable cast-iron skillet over medium-high temperature. Add some sausage, break up having a wooden spoon, and prepare, stirring from time to time, until well browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes.
Utilizing a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to some bowl, departing the made fat within the skillet. Whisk the flour in to the fat and prepare, stirring, for around one minute. While whisking, pour the milk in to the skillet and produce the gravy to some boil. Lower heat and simmer lightly for just two minutes. Stir within the sausage and season with pepper. Split the biscuits in two and divide them among plates. Top each biscuit with a few of the gravy and serve immediately.
To help make the biscuits: Convey a rack in the heart of the oven and preheat to 450 levels F. Line a baking sheet with two layers of parchment paper. Put aside.
Inside a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar. and salt. Rub two tablespoons from the butter in to the flour together with your fingertips until completely absorbed. Work the rest of the butter in to the flour until it's in even pieces about how big a pea. Lightly stir the milk in to the flour mixture to create a loose dough.
Gently dust a clear work surface with flour and switch the dough out about it. Pat the dough right into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Fold the dough in thirds just like a business letter. (For any flakier biscuit repeat the folding again.) Pat the dough right into a 5 by 8-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Make use of a 2- to three-inch round cutter to create 6 biscuits. and transfer these to the prepared baking sheet. Press together the scraps of dough and cut 2 more biscuits.
To help make the glaze: Mix the cream and melted butter together in a tiny bowl. Gently brush the tops from the biscuits using the glaze. Bake until gently browned, about fifteen minutes. Awesome on the rack for five minutes before serving.
