Southern Buttermilk Biscuits and Pork Gravy

Preheat your oven to 350 degree’s.

To make the biscuits: add the flour, baking powder and salt to a large bowl and whisk everything together.

Grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture and toss everything together.

Add the butter milk to the flour mixture and gently mix everything together into a crumbly mass of dough.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and carefully roll the dough out into a 10x12 rectangle. Fold the dough into thirds, like you would do a letter and rotate one quarter turn clockwise. Roll the dough out into another 10x12 rectangle and repeat the process four times.

On the fourth time, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick and cut it into biscuit rounds. Transfer the biscuit rounds to a parchment lined baking sheet and brush them with an egg wash (1 egg, and 2 tbsp water whisked together).

Bake the prepared biscuits for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and make the gravy.

To make the gravy, fully cook the sausage (on my tv show I used chorizo sausage). To the cooked sausage, add the diced onions and sliced mushrooms. Sauté everything together for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle the mixture with flour and stir together.

Carefully pour in the stock of your choice ( I used chicken stock) while stirring. Pour in the can of evaporated milk, adjust salt and pepper as needed.

Serve the freshly made Southern Baking Powder Biscuits with the sausage gravy and enjoy!
