Ingredients

Here’s what I use for this recipe and you can always make substitutions if you prefer.

• Flour – Helps thicken the gravy for a smooth and hearty texture
• Chorizo – Adds heat smoky flavor and richness to the gravy
• Milk – Creates the creamy base that brings all the flavors together
• Butter – Adds richness and helps the biscuits brown beautifully
• Baking powder – Gives the biscuits height and fluffiness
• Salt – Enhances the flavor of both the biscuits and gravy
• Black pepper – Adds a warm subtle kick
• Red peppers – Bring color sweetness and a pop of freshness
• Fresh herbs – Add brightness and a finishing touch

Tools You’ll Need

• Mixing bowl – I use this to combine the dry ingredients for the biscuits
• Skillet – This is where I cook the chorizo and build the gravy
• Whisk – Helps me smooth out the gravy so there are no lumps
• Biscuit cutter – Gives the dough that perfect round shape
• Oven tray – I rely on this to bake the biscuits evenly
• Wooden spoon – Lets me stir the gravy without breaking up the chorizo too much

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

I start by preheating my oven to 425°F so the biscuits bake tall and golden.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

I mix the dry ingredients in a bowl then I cut in the butter until the mixture looks crumbly and I add milk to bring the dough together.

Step 3: Shape the Biscuits

I roll the dough gently and use a cutter to form thick rounds then place them on a tray.

Step 4: Bake the Biscuits

I slide the tray into the oven and bake until the biscuits are golden and fluffy.

Step 5: Cook the Chorizo

While the biscuits bake I cook the chorizo in a skillet until browned and fragrant.

Step 6: Build the Gravy

I sprinkle flour into the skillet and whisk it into the chorizo drippings then I slowly add milk and continue whisking until the gravy thickens.

Step 7: Add Peppers and Seasoning

I stir in chopped red peppers and season with salt and black pepper until everything tastes just right.

Step 8: Assemble and Serve

I spoon the hot chorizo gravy over the warm biscuits and finish with fresh herbs.

Tips

I like to leave the biscuits a bit thick so they hold up nicely under the gravy and I sometimes add a pinch of smoked paprika for even more depth. If I want a creamier gravy I add a splash more milk and if I want it spicier I use hot chorizo instead of mild.

Ways to Serve

I love serving Biscuits and Chorizo Gravy as a hearty breakfast topped with a fried egg or alongside roasted potatoes for extra comfort. It also works beautifully as a brunch centerpiece when paired with a fresh salad or fruit platter and when I feel like turning it into dinner I often add sautéed greens on the side for balance.

Storage Instructions

I store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days and I keep the gravy in the fridge in a sealed container for up to four days. When reheating I warm the gravy gently on the stove while adding a splash of milk to loosen it back to the perfect consistency.
