Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- ½ pound (225g) breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 ounces/450g) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits)
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) whole milk
Seasoning and Additional Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a standard muffin tin by generously coating each cavity with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Carefully unroll the refrigerated biscuit dough, gently separating each round with precision.
- Using your fingertips, delicately stretch and mold each biscuit piece into a thin, pliable disk, ensuring complete coverage of the muffin cup’s interior.
- Press the dough carefully against the sides and bottom of each cup, creating a smooth, even shell that will cradle the savory filling.
- Verify that the biscuit dough reaches slightly above the rim of each cup, forming a rustic, slightly uneven edge for enhanced visual appeal.
- Inspect each cup to confirm there are no gaps or thin spots in the dough that might cause uneven baking or potential leakage of the upcoming sausage gravy filling.
Notes
- Use room temperature biscuit dough for easier stretching and better cup formation when pressing into muffin tins.
- Ensure biscuit dough covers the entire muffin cup bottom and sides evenly to create a sturdy vessel for the sausage gravy.
- Gently press dough with fingertips, avoiding tearing or creating thin spots that might cause uneven baking or potential leaking.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular biscuit dough with gluten-free biscuit mix or pre-made gluten-free biscuit dough to accommodate dietary restrictions.
