Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy Recipe

This classic biscuits and gravy recipe is the classic dish of fluffy buttermilk biscuits topped with a creamy breakfast sausage gravy.

When we talk about holiday meals, a lot of people focus on dinners, hams, turkeys, and roasts. Sure, that’s all great. But for me, nothing says “holiday” like having the time to make and enjoy a great holiday breakfast. Toast and cereal are great for an ordinary day when you have to get moving, but with all the time we have at home during the holidays (especially this holiday season), I like to do something a little special, biscuits and gravy. Biscuits and gravy just say “comfort” to me. 

Pioneer has the BEST Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy recipe!

Ingredients for Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

Buttermilk Biscuit and Baking Mix. Buttermilk Biscuit and Baking Mix is perfect for Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy because it streamlines the process by providing pre-measured dry ingredients with the added convenience of buttermilk flavor. This ensures consistent and delicious results without the need for separate buttermilk and leavening agents.

Biscuit Gravy Mix. Biscuit Gravy Mix is an excellent choice for Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy as it simplifies the cooking process by providing a convenient mix for both biscuits and gravy. This eliminates the need for separate ingredient shopping and measuring. The mix ensures that the biscuits turn out fluffy and the gravy is perfectly seasoned, making it a convenient and flavorful option for this classic recipe.

Milk. Milk is an excellent choice for the Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy recipe, adding creaminess to the gravy and moisture to the biscuit dough for a delicious outcome.

Breakfast Sausage. Sausage is essential for the Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy recipe as it contributes savory flavors and texture, enhancing the overall taste and heartiness of the dish.

Butter. Butter is crucial in the Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy recipe. It thickens and enriches the sausage gravy, adding flavor and texture, while in the biscuits, it contributes to their flakiness and taste, making it an essential element for this comforting dish.

The Biscuit Mix I Like Best

Pioneer’s Biscuit Gravy Mix and their Buttermilk Baking Mix mean that my family and I can enjoy the luxury of hearty biscuits and gravy breakfast, without spending that much time making it.

I used to find making gravy a little stressful because it was always too watery or lumpy. But, I got these tips from Brian Mannett, Pioneer’s Head Research, and Development Chef: 

Instructions for Making the Perfect Gravy, Every Time.

1. Bring to a boil. For a nice, thick gravy, make certain your water is at a full, rolling boil when preparing our gravy mixes to ensure that the starches are activated.
2. Mix first before adding: When adding gravy mix to boiling water – consider first mixing it with a minimal amount of water to ensure a smooth transfer. Adding the dry mix directly to boiling water can create lumps. 

Mix a Little Water First

Mixing some of the mixes with a little water first was a game-changer for me. In fact, I actually now do this method with a lot of instant drinks like hot chocolate as well. It really does make things smoother.
