Do not overmix.<\/li>\n<li>Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a thick rectangle.<\/li>\n<li>Fold the dough over itself a few times to create flaky layers, then pat it to about 1 inch thick.<\/li>\n<li>Cut out the biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.<\/li>\n<li>Bake for 12\u201315 minutes, or until beautifully golden and fluffy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Make the Sausage Gravy<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>While the biscuits are baking, cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles.<\/li>\n<li>Once the sausage is fully cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir well.<\/li>\n<li>Cook for about 1\u20132 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.<\/li>\n<li>Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously.<\/li>\n<li>Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes if using.<\/li>\n<li>Continue cooking and stirring for 5\u20138 minutes, until the gravy becomes thick, creamy, and smooth.<\/li>\n<li>If the gravy becomes too thick, add a little more milk until you reach your desired consistency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>To Serve<\/h2>\n<p>Split the warm biscuits in half and generously spoon the creamy sausage gravy over the top. Finish with an extra sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper and serve immediately.<\/p>\n<h3>Serving Tip<\/h3>\n<p>For an extra cozy breakfast, serve these Southern sausage gravy biscuits with scrambled eggs, crispy hash browns, or fresh fruit.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy every warm, buttery, creamy bite!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Southern Sausage Gravy &amp; Biscuits Flaky, buttery golden biscuits topped with rich, creamy, peppery sausage gravy make this classic Southern&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7426,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7425"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7425\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7427,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7425\/revisions\/7427"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7426"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
