Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Sour Cream Biscuits

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk

For the Sausage Gravy

  • 300 g breakfast sausage
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Make the Sour Cream Biscuits
    Preheat oven to 220°C / 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    Stir together sour cream and milk, then add to the flour mixture.
    Mix gently until dough forms.
    Roll or pat dough to about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thickness.
    Cut biscuits using a biscuit cutter and place on the baking sheet.
    Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Prepare the Sausage Gravy
    Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned.
    Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir well to coat.
    Slowly pour in milk while stirring constantly.
    Simmer for 5–7 minutes until the gravy thickens.
    Season with black pepper and salt.
  3. Assemble the Dish
    Split warm sour cream biscuits in half.
    Spoon generous amounts of sausage gravy over the biscuits.
    Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Sour cream makes the biscuits extra soft and tender.
  • Freshly cracked black pepper enhances the flavor of the gravy.
  • If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
  • These biscuits also pair well with honey or butter.
