Equipment

  • Blackstone griddle (any size will do)
  • Spatula or grill tongs
  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet or pan
  • Cooking oil or non-stick spray

Ingredients

  • For the Biscuits:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk or milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice
  • For the Gravy:
  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage mild or spicy, your preference
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preparing the Biscuits
  • Preheat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat while you prepare the biscuit dough.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  • Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into pea-sized pieces. Alternatively, you can use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture.
  • Gradually pour in the buttermilk, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing; a slightly shaggy dough is perfect.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it down to about 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out rounds.
  • Place the biscuit rounds on a baking sheet or pan, making sure they are touching for soft-sided biscuits.
  • Step 2: Cooking the Biscuits
  • Lightly grease your Blackstone griddle with cooking oil or non-stick spray.
  • Carefully transfer the biscuits onto the griddle and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  • Remove the biscuits from the griddle and keep them warm while you prepare the gravy.
  • Step 3: Preparing the Gravy
  • In the same preheated Blackstone griddle, cook the ground breakfast sausage until it's browned and cooked through. Break it into crumbles with a spatula as it cooks.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir it in, allowing it to coat the sausage evenly.
  • Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly, ensuring no lumps form. Cook the gravy for a few minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  • Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste, giving it a final stir.
  • The more you cook gravy, the more you'll get a feel for it. It takes longer than you would expect, so take it slow and once you get to a good consistency, kill the heat.
  • Step 4: Serving the Breakfast
  • Split the warm biscuits in half and place them on serving plates.
  • Generously ladle the creamy sausage gravy over the biscuits.

Notes

Tips for Biscuits and Gravy:
For an added twist, you can top your biscuits and gravy with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or green onions.
Want a vegetarian version? Replace the breakfast sausage with plant-based sausage crumbles and use vegetable broth instead of milk for the gravy.
