Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) whole milk or buttermilk, cold
  • 1 pound (450g) breakfast sausage, spicy or mild
  • 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups (600ml) whole milk or half and half
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/4 cup (30g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 4 large eggs, preferably free-range
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter for frying
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Cut in cold cubed butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in cold milk and stir gently until dough just comes together.
  3. Turn dough onto floured surface, pat into 1-inch thick rectangle, and cut into rounds. Place on baking sheet and bake 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
  4. While biscuits bake, heat skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage, breaking up with spoon, until browned, about 7-9 minutes. Drain excess fat, leaving 2 tablespoons.
  5. Sprinkle flour into sausage fat and stir 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk, bring to simmer, and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in black pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and cheddar cheese if using. Adjust thickness with milk if needed.
  7. In separate skillet, heat oil or butter over medium heat. Crack eggs carefully and cook until whites set and edges are crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Split warm biscuits in half, spoon sausage gravy over each half, and top with a crispy fried egg. Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep butter cold and work quickly when making biscuit dough to ensure flaky texture. Whisk constantly when adding milk to gravy to avoid lumps. Use medium heat and enough oil for crispy fried egg edges. Gravy can be made ahead and reheated with a splash of milk. Biscuits can be frozen before baking and baked from frozen with extra time.
