| Yield: | 15 biscuits with gravy |
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 log package sausage (recommended: Jimmy Dean)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- Cream, for glazing
Instructions
- For the sausage gravy:
- In a large heavy bottom pot melt the tablespoon of butter and brown the sausage for about 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Once at a simmer, add the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and maple syrup. Simmer the gravy for 15 minutes and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- For the biscuits:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a bowl sift together the dry ingredients. Add the butter and incorporate the flour into it until the texture is consistent. Pour the milk into the flour mixture and mix with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out until it’s about 1-inch thick. Cut the dough vertically and then horizontally, yielding approximately 15 square biscuits. Lay the biscuits out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Glaze the top of each biscuit with a little bit of cream and place the sheet in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden in color.
- Assemble by placing a biscuit on a plate and covering it with about 1/2 a cup of the sausage gravy.

This recipe has been my sons favorite for years. I use less maple syrup than it calls for to keep it savory.
excellent. I have made this for many events. Most favored in the morning by my snowboarding buddies prior to getting on the mountains. Gratitude to you.
I make this recipe for my son about once a month. He loves it. The biscuit recipe is definitely the highlight because of the taste and relative ease of preparation.
i thought this recipe was ok a little sweet for a sausage gravy but other wise exceptional. i didn’t make the biscuits but i will try them another time.
I only gave it a three because I did not make the gravy. I was looking for a biscuit recipe. This biscuit turned out very good. Did not rise. Extremely buttery. It was so buttery, that I didn’t even want to put my own sausage gravy on it because it would have been too much, too rich, too much fat.
These would be good with come jelly on them or just by themselves. Might try 1/2-n-1/2 with shortening next time. (disclaimer – I didn’t read any previous reviews)
I used this biscuit recipe and it was terrific! Only gave it 4 stars because of the slight modifications I made which made fluffy, butter, moist biscuits. I used a full cup of butter (2 sticks and I added a tablespoon of vinegar and then enough milk to make it a cup to make a substitute for buttermilk. I didn’t have heavy cream so I brushed the top of the biscuits with half and half and it worked perfectly. they were the best biscuits I ever tasted – even my husband agreed!
As a side note – I used Alton Brown’s Sawmill Gravy recipe for an authentic southern gravy and bisuits breakfast
I don’t like gravy, but my husband loves biscuits and gravy, so I tried this recipe and it was pretty good. It is certainly not a traditional gravy flavor, which I liked, but it threw my husband a bit. I used store-bought biscuits, which worked out fine, and it was delicious, we will make this again.
I’m VERY picky about my buscuits and gravy, and this recipe was by far my favorite! It’s very sweet, but it’s also spicy, and you can make it spicier by just adding extra hot sauce and pepper. The gravy was a bit thin, but adding a little arrow root, made it just right. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!
This is a very sweet version of biscuits n gravy. Not like a traditional salty biscuits and sausage gravy. I liked it a lot, but expect something different, almost dessert-like in sweetness and richness.
Not Close to ANY sausage gravy I have ever eaten. I have been making and eating sausage gravy for 60 years. This is by far the worst I have ever tried to eat.
