Ingredients

Biscuits

2 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/3 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper optional
5 tablespoon cold butter cubed
1 cup milk

Sausage and Gravy

1 pound pork sausage maple flavor
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cup milk
2 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper coarse grind

Instructions

Biscuits

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and, if desired, pepper. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk; stir just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 8-10 times.
Pat or roll dough to 1-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 15-17 minutes.

Sausage and Gravy

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, 6-8 minutes, breaking into crumbles. Stir in flour until blended; gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until sauce is thickened, 4-6 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients. Serve with warm biscuits.

Reheating Instructions

Reheat to desired temperature on stove top or microwave.
