Ingredients

Drop Biscuits

2 cups self-rising flour
¼ cup butter ice cold
1 cup buttermilk you may need a little more or less

Sausage Gravy

1 pounds breakfast sausage
12 ounces smoked sausage diced
½ cup chopped onion
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk cut to 2 ½ cups for thicker gravy
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Gravy

Add breakfast sausage and onion to a cast iron skillet and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the smoked sausage.
Sprinkle flour evenly over sausage mixture and cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
Add milk and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly until well blended.
Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Turn off heat and let sit while you make the biscuits.

Biscuits

Add the flour to a large bowl.
Using the big holed side of a grater, grate the butter into the flour and stir to make sure the butter isn't in just one spot.
Pour in ⅔ of the buttermilk and stir lightly with a fork - just until the dough leaves the sides of the bowl. You may need a little more buttermilk.

Assemble

Scoop the drop biscuit mixture by ¼ cup scoops on top of the hot gravy.
Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, 20-25 minutes.

Notes

Storage:

Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Freeze for up to 3 months, however there likely will be textural changes.

Tips:

You can use canned refrigerated biscuits if you want to save 5 minutes.
If biscuits don't brown enough when they are cooked take the skillet out of the oven, brush the biscuits with melted butter, and put under the broiler for a few minutes. Keep watch!
