Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    A sausage pan gravy (often made in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet) is one of the simplest of country-style recipes—a whisk is used to blend the flour into the cooked sausage, creating a type of roux with the fat in the pan. Pour the milk in gradually while stirring to ensure the gravy comes out lump-free.

More About This Recipe

  • Flaky biscuits. Creamy peppered gravy. Zesty pork sausage. What’s not to love about classic biscuits and gravy? It requires minimal ingredients and is versatile enough to be made for either breakfast or dinner. While we love ordering a good ol’ biscuits and gravy breakfast from our local diner, making it at home is a snap, especially when you’re working with pre-made biscuit dough. The concept of pouring creamy gravy over biscuits is nothing new. When European settlers arrived in the United States, they brought a simple method of cooking with them that often relied on a base of meat, bread and gravy. Biscuits and sausage gravy became a distinguished dish after the American Revolutionary War during which there was a shortage of food and money. Since the recipe required very basic and budget-friendly ingredients, it became a regular breakfast dish in the South. Breakfast was especially important and had to be hearty for those who worked on the plantations all day. Nowadays, biscuits and gravy shows up on breakfast menus all over the United States and several variations have been introduced since the original recipe. The already-simple recipe can be further simplified by using your slow cooker to make them or you can even use your 13x9 to make a casserole version of biscuits and gravy.
