Jumbo Drop Biscuits with Brown Butter Gravy

October 11, 2018 by 918 Plate 4 Comments

These jumbo drop biscuits with brown butter gravy are a great way to kick off the weekend, but are easy to whip up any day of the week!

My dad’s favorite food (maybe in the whole world?) is Braum’s biscuits and gravy. As a matter of fact, I was making these for him and he said, “Well, it’s okay if they don’t turn out because then we can just go to Braum’s.” DAD. A LITTLE FAITH, PLEASE.

As you know…I don’t bake much. So a huge thanks and shoutout to Julie at Bunsen Burner Bakery for letting me adapt her great drop biscuit recipe to suit my needs. She’s got loads of great stuff on her page, and WAY more desserts than me. I recommend popping over there for those types of goodies! I used her recipe for garlic cheddar biscuits, but left out the garlic and cheddar (ha) and doubled the size of each biscuit. It lengthened the cooking time, but they still turned out fluffy and perfectly ready for gravy.

And as for the gravy situation…Breakfast sausage already has sage in it, and I thought browned butter and sage would be great flavors to incorporate into the gravy…I really can’t get enough of that combo. I’ll eat it pretty much any time. It’s my go-to fast dinner – pasta with browned butter and fried sage! So yum. Anyway. It was a natural fit, and it was a DELICIOUS choice.

Local Spotlight: My breakfast sausage is from Prairie Creek Farms, of course. The sage came from my very own backyard. I’m afraid it’s going to get too cold for it soon, so I need to maybe cut it back and put it in a pot? Can I do that? *Goes to research Sage.*

The result is a piping hot, tangy buttermilk biscuit served with rich sausage gravy with a touch of sweetness and nutty butter flavor. What could be better than that?! Also, this tip is per Julie, but the biscuits reheat great, if you pop them in the over or toaster oven at 325 for a few minutes!
