  • Author: Lana
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

For the Biscuits:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
– 3/4 cup milk

For the Chorizo Gravy:
– 1 pound Mexican chorizo, casings removed
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 cups whole milk
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon cumin
– Salt to taste


Instructions

Creating Mexican Chorizo Gravy and Biscuits is straightforward. Follow these steps:

For the Biscuits:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in Butter: Add cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to break it down until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Milk: Pour in the milk and mix gently until just combined. Do not overwork the dough.
5. Shape Biscuits: On a floured surface, turn out the dough and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a cutter or glass.
6. Bake: Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

For the Chorizo Gravy:

1. Cook Chorizo: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned, breaking it up into small pieces. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add Flour: Sprinkle flour over the cooked chorizo and stir for 1-2 minutes to combine, forming a roux.
3. Pour in Milk: Gradually add whole milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
4. Season the Gravy: Add black pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and salt to taste.
5. Simmer: Cook the gravy for about 5 minutes until it thickens, stirring continuously.
6. Serve Hot: Once thickened, remove from heat and serve over warm biscuits.
