Buttermilk Biscuits with Sausage Gravy is a classic Southern-style breakfast: flaky biscuits topped with creamy, peppery sausage gravy. Here’s a simple, reliable way to make it at home.
Buttermilk Biscuits with Sausage Gravy

🍳 Sausage Gravy
Ingredients:
- 250–300 g breakfast sausage (or any spiced ground sausage)
- 2–3 tbsp flour

- Salt and black pepper (generous black pepper is key)
Instructions:
- Cook sausage in a pan until browned and crumbly.
- Sprinkle flour over sausage and stir for 1–2 minutes.
- Slowly add milk while stirring to avoid lumps.
- Simmer until thick and creamy (5–8 minutes).
- Season heavily with black pepper and adjust salt.
🍽️ To Serve
Split warm biscuits and pour hot sausage gravy on top. Best eaten immediately while everything is soft and creamy.
