Key to Success #1 – Let’s Talk Gravy
Around here, we like our gravy meaty and peppery.
This recipe uses a full pound of breakfast sausage. You can go either hot or mild but I don’t suggest an extra lean sausage.
You’re going to want some grease in the pan when you make your gravy.
The key to a smooth and creamy gravy is the stirring!
Make sure you stir your gravy the whole time it’s cooking.
I like to use a small wire whisk when I’m making gravy. A wooden spoon would also work well.
Key to Success #2 – How About Some Biscuits?
You can use any flavor/variety of biscuits you like but I’d suggest a “Grands” variety that has 8 larger biscuits in the can.
This will give you 16 halves and that was perfect for making the ring around the skillet.
And I should mention that you’ll need a big skillet. I recommend at least a 12-inch skillet for this recipe.
I prefer cast iron but any skillet will work as long as it’s oven-safe.
Make sure your biscuits are touching when you make your ring. This will help keep the gravy in the center of the ring when the biscuits bake up.
If you’d like, you can brush an egg wash on your biscuits before adding the gravy to the center of your biscuit ring.
This will help add a lovely golden color to your biscuits.
Key to Success #3 – Serve It Up
This Biscuit and Gravy Ring is wonderful served with scrambled eggs.
It’s a hearty dish that even the big men will love.
Since the biscuits and gravy are served in one dish, it’s perfect for making at home or taking to a family breakfast or brunch.
Save this Biscuit & Gravy Ring recipe to your favorite Breakfast Board or your Brunch board.
