Step 1

Preheat oven to 475ºF.

Step 2

Grate frozen butter and toss with flour in a medium bowl, chill 10 minutes. Make a well in the center of mixture, add buttermilk and stir 15 times, dough will be slightly loose. Add 2-4 tablespoons buttermilk if the dough seems to dry. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a ball.

Step 3

Create layers by either the “Pat and Fold” or “Pat and Stack” method. Pat and Stack: press the dough to ½-inch thickness, score the dough into 4 equal sections, and stack the 4 together. Once it’s stacked high, press the dough down to ½-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 ½” floured round cutter, reshaping scraps and flouring as needed. Pat and Fold: Using a floured rolling pin, roll dough into a ¾” thick rectangle (about 9”x 5”). Fold dough in half so short ends meet. Repeat rolling and folding process 4 more times. Roll dough to ½” thickness. Cut with a 2 ½” floured round cutter, reshaping scraps and flouring as needed.

Step 4

Place dough rounds on a parchment paper-lined pan or a pre-heated buttered cast iron skillet. Bake at 475ºF for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush with melted butter.

Step 5

Cook breakfast meat in a large skillet. You will want the residual grease to be ready for making gravy as the biscuits are baking. Either reserve the cooked meat crumbles to meal prep a casserole recipe or use it in the gravy.

Step 6

Make the gravy in a medium skillet on medium-high. Ensure there is ¼ cup grease in the pan. If your meat didn’t produce ¼ cup, add canola oil or butter to that amount. Whisk flour into grease and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes. NOTE: If making sausage gravy, start with the cooked, crumbled sausage in the skillet on medium-high and ensure there is 1/4 cup grease in the pan. Then, add the flour and continue the recipe as written.

Step 7

Add 1 cup milk to the mixture and whisk quickly. This initial mixture will thicken and cook quickly.

Step 8

Once well combined, add an additional cup of milk and stir until well combined. Allow the mixture to come to a light simmer then turn heat to medium-low.

Step 9

As mixture thickens, add the remaining ½ cup milk and salt and pepper to taste. Allow to simmer 3-5 minutes.
