Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a bit of heat)
Feel free to substitute with gluten-free flour if needed or add herbs like rosemary or thyme for an aromatic twist.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until a dough forms. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently.
- Roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut out circles using a biscuit cutter.
- In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove the sausage, leaving the drippings, and set aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons of flour to the drippings, stirring until golden brown. Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until thickened.
- Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and cayenne if using. Stir the cooked sausage back into the gravy.
- Place a spoonful of sausage gravy in the center of each dough circle, fold over, and seal the edges.
- Place the bombs on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
These biscuits remind me of the mornings spent with my abuela, making everything from scratch, and they carry the same love and warmth.
