Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup butter, frozen
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 pound pork breakfast sausage (such as Jimmy Dean's)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups milk (I use 2% or whole)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • additional salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 475 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cream of tartar.

  2. 2

    In a large cast iron skillet (or other large skillet), add the sausage and cook over medium to medium-high heat until the sausage is cooked through and no longer pink, 8-10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the meat into small chunks as needed. Do NOT drain the grease that the sausage made while cooking.
