Ingredients
  

Biscuits

  • 2 cups AP Flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup whole milk

Gravy

  • 3 pork sausages removed from casing
  • 2 cups Campbell’s Chicken and Herb Rich and Thick Stock
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ tsp dried thyme
  • ¼ tsp cayenne
  • ¼ tsp dried parsley
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Biscuits

  • Preheat oven for 425 degree farenehit.
  • Mix your dry ingredients together; flour, sugar, salt, baking powder.
  • Grate frozen butter into flour mixture. (You can place all ingredients in food processor and pulse instead).
  • Add milk and mix using a fork until you get a crumbly dough.
  • Pour dough out onto a lightly floured counter and bring together forming a rectangle. Roll out dough slightly using a rolling pin, using extra flour if necessary to prevent sticking. Roll out dough to about 1 inch thick.
  • Using a pastry scraper to help you, fold your rectangular dough in half.
  • Pat down and roll out dough until it is an inch thick and fold in half again.
  • Repeat 2 more times, for a total of 4 folds and roll your dough out until it is about 1/2 and inch thick and use pastry cutter to cut out 6 rounds. I great substitute for a pastry cutter, or round cookie cutter if a drinking gland or if you have one, the top of a cocktail shaker.
  • Keep bringing together scraps of dough, rolling it out until you get 6 rounds. If you have less than 6 rounds, your biscuits will probably be on the thicker side which is not an issue but you may have to increase cook time by a minute. If you have more than 6 rounds with that amount of dough, you biscuits may be too thin.
  • Brush the top of your biscuits with heavy cream and bake in the over at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes until nicely browned.
  • Brush with melted butter while they are still hot and set aside while you make your gravy.

Gravy

  • In a skillet or pan, place your sausage removed from casings, and brown breaking up sausage into bits as you cook. Can take anywhere from 5-10 minutes to fully cook sausage depending on size of pan.
  • To your browned sausage, add Campbell’s Chicken and Herb Rich and Thick Stock and your dry seasoning.
  • Add your heavy cream season with salt if necessary (the sausage combined with the stock is usually salty enough for me) them season with more black pepper if necessary .

To serve

  • Open up biscuits or leave whole, top with a healthy portion of your sausage gravy and top with a fried egg. Finish with more pepper and chopped parsley if you like.
