Time 42m

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior, make sure the butter is cold and the dough is not overmixed.
  • For flaky layers, use a pastry cutter or two forks to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Handle the dough as little as possible to prevent gluten from developing, which can make the biscuits tough.
  • Use buttermilk or sour cream to add tanginess and tenderness to the biscuits.
  • If the dough is too wet, add more flour a tablespoon at a time until it comes together. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of buttermilk or sour cream at a time until it is moist.
  • Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch for tall, fluffy biscuits.
  • Cut the biscuits with a sharp knife or biscuit cutter to ensure clean edges and even baking.
  • Place the biscuits close together on a baking sheet to allow them to rise and create soft sides.
  • Bake the biscuits in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Sage cornmeal biscuits are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. With their crispy exterior, fluffy interior, and savory flavor, these biscuits are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
