🔥 1. Cook the Bacon
- Place bacon in a cold pan.
- Turn heat to medium and cook slowly.
- Flip occasionally until crispy.
- Remove and place on paper towels.
👉 Tip: Save 1–2 tbsp bacon grease for extra flavor if you like.
🫓 2. Make the Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter until crumbly.
- Add milk and mix just until dough forms.
- Roll out (about 2 cm thick) and cut into rounds.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden.
👉 Shortcut: Use canned biscuits and bake according to package.
🍲 3. Prepare the Sausage Gravy
- In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned.
- Do NOT drain fat (this builds flavor).
- Sprinkle flour over sausage and stir (1–2 minutes).
- Slowly add milk while stirring continuously.
- Simmer until thick and creamy.
- Season with lots of black pepper and salt.
👉 Gravy should be thick but pourable—add milk if too thick.
🍳 4. Fry the Eggs
- Heat butter or oil in a pan.
- Crack eggs gently into the pan.
- Cook sunny-side up or to your liking.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
🍽️ 5. Assemble the Plate
- Split biscuits in half.
- Spoon generous sausage gravy over them.
- Add eggs on the side.
- Serve with crispy bacon.
