Ingredients
6 slices of bacon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3/4 cup milk
1 lb breakfast sausage
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Cook bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in milk until dough comes together. Roll out dough on a floured surface and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
4. Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
5. In a separate skillet, cook sausage until browned. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.
6. Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly until gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
7. To assemble, split biscuits in half and place on a plate. Top with gravy and sprinkle with bacon.
8. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious Bacon Biscuit and Gravy Volcano!
Notes
For best results, ensure butter stays cold during biscuit preparation to create flaky layers.
Cook sausage completely before adding flour to prevent lumpy gravy.
Add milk gradually while whisking constantly to achieve smooth gravy consistency.
Serve immediately while biscuits and gravy are hot for optimal texture and flavor.
Store leftover components separately and reheat gently to maintain quality.
