Directions for: Pub-Style Biscuits and Gravy
Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
tsp baking soda
1 tsp dried rosemary
tsp salt
cup cold butter, cubed
1 cups milk
1 egg, plus 1 egg for egg wash
1 tsp oil
lb(s) sweet pork sausage, uncased
1 cup dark lager
2 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp flour
1 cup beef stock
1 cheesy sausage, grilled and sliced
4 eggs, fried (optional)
Rosemary sprigs, for skewers
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Set up a baking sheet with lined parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking oil.
2. In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, rosemary, and salt. Add the cubed butter using your hands until its incorporated and the texture changes into coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl mix together milk and eggs. With a fork add the liquid into to coarse crumble mixture.
3. Roll out dough onto a floured surface. Gently knead for 8 minutes. Take a rolling pin and roll out dough to -inch thick. Using a 3-inch cutter cut out as many even numbered rounds as you can. Once you have cut out dough place onto the baking sheet and brush with egg wash. Bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Remove and let cool on wire rack.
4. Bring a frying pan to medium-high heat. Add a teaspoon of oil and the uncased sausage meat. Add the lager and reduce for 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the crumbled sausage and place to the side. Add butter to the frying pan, and lightly dust the flour into the pan. Mix together until it begins to bubble. Reduce heat, add in beef stock and whisk. Allow the gravy to thicken. Add the sausage back into the gravy and reduce to a low heat until ready to serve.
5. Cut the scones horizontally. Layer slices of cheesy sausage on the base of the scones. Then add the fried eggs if choosing to do so. Spoon gravy on the top of the egg and gently place the top of the scone on. Use a sprig of rosemary as a skewer and poke though the scone.
6. Serve with a side of sausage gravy.
