Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed

¾ cup buttermilk

1 pound breakfast sausage, crumbled

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for the gravy)

2 cups whole milk

½ teaspoon pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter to the bowl, and using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk gradually, stirring gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

Prepare the Gravy: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage and set aside but leave the drippings in the skillet.

Make a Roux: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour into the skillet with the drippings and stir for about 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and thickened.

Season the Gravy: Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet and stir in pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until completely thick.

Form the Bombs: On a floured surface, roll out the biscuit dough to about ½ inch thick. Cut into squares of approximately 4x4 inches. Place a spoonful of the sausage gravy mixture in the center of each square. Gather the corners of the dough to securely envelop the filling, pinching them together to form a sealed ball.

Bake the Bombs: Place the gravy bombs seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle some extra gravy over them or serve it on the side. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for color and freshness.
