Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cornmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions (1 green onion)
1 teaspoon finely snipped fresh sage or 1/4 teaspoon dried sage, crushed
3/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cups buttermilk (or sour milk or 1 cup milk)
1 recipe sausage gravy
chopped green onion (optional)
1 1/2 lbs bulk pork sausage
1 cup chopped onion (1 large)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
salt & fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons snipped fresh thyme (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a large bowl stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, salt, the 2 tablespoons green onion, and the sage. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add buttermilk all at once. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing it just until dough holds together. Pat or lightly roll dough until 3/4 inch thick. Cut dough with a floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter; reroll scraps as necessary. Dip cutter into flour between cuts.
  • Place dough rounds 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden. Remove biscuits from baking sheet. Cool slightly.
  • To serve, split biscuits and place on serving plates. Top with Sausage Gravy. If desired, top with additional green onions.
  • SAUSAGE GRAVY:.
  • In a very large skillet cook bulk pork sausage and chopped onion over medium-high heat until meat is brown and onion is tender, using a wooden spoon to break up meat as it cooks. Do not drain.
  • Sprinkle all-purpose flour over meat mixture; stir into the meat mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat for 1 minute. While whisking, gradually add milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in snipped fresh thyme, if desired. Makes about 5 cups.
  • TO MAKE AHEAD:.
  • Prepare biscuits as directed; cool completely. Place biscuits in a resealable plastic freezer bag; seal, label, and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Prepare sausage gravy as directed. Place in an airtight container; seal and chill for up to 48 hours. To serve, thaw biscuits at room temperature (allow about 2 hours). If desired, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place biscuits on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. In a medium saucepan reheat sausage gravy over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through. If necessary, stir in additional milk to make desired consistency.

3/4 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

1/2 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems
1/2 cup Cotija cheese or queso fresco (optional)

Steps:

Tips:

  • To ensure the biscuits are light and fluffy, make sure to use cold butter and buttermilk. The cold butter will help create flaky layers in the biscuits, while the buttermilk will help them rise.
  • Don't overmix the biscuit dough. Overmixing will result in tough, dense biscuits.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make the sausage gravy, use a good quality sausage. Jimmy Dean is a good option. You can also use ground beef or turkey if you prefer.
  • Don't brown the sausage too much. Overcooked sausage will be tough and dry.
  • To make the gravy, use a roux made with equal parts butter and flour. A roux will help to thicken the gravy and give it a rich flavor.
  • Season the gravy to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a splash of milk or cream to make the gravy creamier.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal sage biscuits with sausage gravy is a classic Southern comfort food dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The biscuits are light and fluffy, while the gravy is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
