Ingredients
  

Sausage gravy:

  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

Cheddar biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter cold and cubed
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • ¾ cup cold buttermilk

Instructions
 

Sausage gravy:

  • In a 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan, cook the ground pork on medium-high heat until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the pork and stir until combined. Add ginger, sage, black pepper, salt and heavy whipping cream; stir until well combined. Cook on medium-low until gravy begins to thickens; it should still be a little soupy. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Remove skillet from heat and let sit while you prepare the biscuits.

Cheddar biscuits:

  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Alternatively, you can add to a large bowl and whisk.
  • Add the cubed butter to the dry ingredients in the processor and pulse several times until you reach a coarse crumbly consistency. If mixing in a bowl, use a pastry cutter to combine butter into dry ingredients.
  • If you used a food processor, pour flour and butter mixture into a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour buttermilk in. Stir until just combined; do not over mix the dough. The dough will still look crumbly.
  • Remove dough from bowl and place on a lightly floured surface. Flatten into a rectangle using your hands. Fold one side of the dough into the other side and flatten. Repeat the folding, alternating between the 4 sides and flattening dough between each fold, folding four times.
  • Using a lightly floured rolling pin, gently roll the dough out until it’s about ½ inch thick. Cut into circles using a cutter or a mason jar lid. Re-roll scrapes until you cut all the dough into small circles.
  • Arrange biscuits close together over the sausage gravy in the skillet. You should get at least 8 biscuits into the skillet. Brush biscuit tops with melted butter.
  • Place pan in the oven and bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes until biscuits are golden brown on top. Remove from oven and enjoy! I like mine with scrambled eggs and hot sauce :)

Notes

If you have extra biscuits, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes.
