Creamy Biscuits And Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a bowl; cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly. Mix in egg and milk until incorporated. Turn dough out onto a well-floured work surface and knead for 1 minute.
• Roll dough out to a thickness of 3/4 to 1-inch thick, cut with a biscuit cutter, and place biscuits onto prepared baking sheet. Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir 1/4 cup butter into sausage until butter has melted and mix in 1/4 cup flour until thoroughly combined. Pour evaporated milk and water into sausage mixture, bring gravy to a simmer, and reduce heat to low; simmer gravy until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Serve biscuits with sausage gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and stir just until the pieces are coated with the flour mixture. Whisk together the milk and egg in a small bowl. Add milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix the dough. Cut in the butter.
• Flour your workspace. Turn the dough onto the workspace and pat into a 1/2-inch-thick slab. Using a biscuit cutter (or any round rimmed object), cut out 8 to 10 biscuits. Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't touch, and bake until they've risen slightly and are lightly browned around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Top with butter and keep warm.
• For the sausage gravy: Heat a very large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until browned, about 15 minutes. Add the cream and thyme, bring to a simmer, and simmer for 25 minutes. Stir together the cornstarch and 1 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Stirring constantly, pour the slurry into the pot. Simmer, stirring often, until the gravy thickens.
• Split each biscuit in half and top with about ¾ cup of the sausage gravy. Extra gravy will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 7 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• In a large pot, add sausage and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain grease and add flour to sausage. Cook over medium-high heat until the sausage is well-coated with the flour. Add milk and stir until desired thickness and add salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with biscuits.
