Biscuits with sausage gravy are a traditional dish originating from the southern United States, very popular for breakfast due to their comforting flavor and soft texture. Although in Latin America they do not have a specific name that is used uniformly, in countries like Mexico they could be described as "rolls with chorizo sauce" or "bread with creamy meat sauce". In other places such as Argentina or Colombia, they might be associated with versions of homemade bread accompanied by similar meat or sausage sauces. This recipe reflects the influence of American Southern cuisine, known for its biscuits, which are fluffy rolls made with butter or shortening, and the sausage gravy that adds a creamy and flavorful touch.
Biscuits with sausage gravy are especially appreciated for their ease of preparation and the perfect combination between the softness of the biscuit and the creaminess of the gravy, ideal for a hearty breakfast or a brunch with friends or family.
How to Make Biscuits with Sausage Gravy
To prepare this delicious recipe, you must first prepare the homemade biscuits or use canned biscuits, following the package instructions or your trusted recipe.
Next, crumble the sausage into a hot skillet and brown it until it is well cooked and has an appetizing golden color.
Pour off the excess fat from the skillet, leaving approximately four tablespoons to flavor the gravy.
Add the cornstarch to the skillet and stir to loosen the browned bits that have formed on the surface.
Incorporate the milk slowly while continuing to stir, so that the gravy becomes creamy and smooth without lumps.
If the gravy thickens too quickly, add more cold milk little by little until you reach the desired consistency.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the gravy and stir well to mix all the flavors.
Finally, cut the biscuits in half and place the sausage gravy on top, serving immediately to enjoy their best flavor and texture.
The main ingredients you will need are: biscuit, sausage, skillet fat, cornstarch, and milk.
