Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the Biscuits

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure; using a good-quality flour enhances the biscuit's texture.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder This leavening agent gives biscuits their delightful rise.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness and enhances the overall flavor.
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter Adds richness and flakiness; use cold for the best results.
  • ¾ cup whole milk Creates a soft dough; whole milk is preferred for creaminess.

For the Chorizo Gravy

  • 1 lb fresh chorizo It's the star ingredient; opt for high-quality for maximum flavor impact.
  • ¼ cup flour Essential for thickening the gravy; all-purpose flour works well.
  • 2 cups whole milk Adds creaminess; plant-based milk can be used as a substitute.
  • salt and pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust to your taste.
  • red pepper flakes For an extra kick of heat.

Instructions
 

Biscuits and Chorizo Gravy Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add milk and stir gently until just combined. Knead briefly, roll out, and cut into rounds. Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add the fresh chorizo. Cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces for about 5-7 minutes. The chorizo should be fully cooked and fragrant.
  • Sprinkle flour over the chorizo, stirring to coat. Cook for about 1 minute, then gradually whisk in the whole milk. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens and is smooth—about 4-5 minutes.
  • Place the fluffy biscuits on plates and generously ladle the chorizo gravy over the top. Serve warm, and enjoy the cozy embrace of this delicious dish!
