Ingredients
– 10 biscuits
– 2 tubes (9 ounces each) pork chorizo
– 1/2 medium white or yellow onion finely diced
– 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 2 1/2 cups whole milk
– 1 lb chorizo sausage Provides the rich, smoky flavor that forms the base of the gravy
– 2 cups all-purpose flour Used for both the biscuits and to thicken the gravy
– 1 cup milk Ensures a creamy texture
– 1 tsp smoked paprika Enhances the smoky taste
– 1/2 tsp black pepper Adds a mild heat
– 1 tsp baking powder Leavens the biscuits
– 3/4 cup buttermilk Reacts with baking powder for tender biscuits
– Pork chorizo Main flavor base
– All-purpose flour Thickening and baking
– Whole milk Creamy gravy
Instructions
1-First, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) if making homemade biscuits. Combine flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then add cold buttermilk and mix gently until just combined. Shape the dough into 10 biscuits and place them on a baking sheet for baking.
2-Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes until they’re golden brown and fluffy. While they bake, heat a skillet over medium and cook the 2 tubes of chorizo, breaking it apart until it’s browned.
3-Next, add the 1/2 medium white or yellow onion finely diced to the skillet with the chorizo and cook for about 7 minutes until the onion is browned and fragrant.
4-Stir in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to thicken the mixture, creating a roux that will make your gravy smooth and rich.
5-Gradually add 2 1/2 cups of whole milk, stirring frequently as the mixture simmers on medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the gravy thickens to perfection.
6-Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve the warm gravy over the freshly baked or heated biscuits for a comforting meal.
