Sweet Potato Biscuits with Chorizo Sausage Gravy
Made this morning as a topper for our fried taters skillet (with onions & jalapeños) and loved it. I used 7.5 oz of andouille sausage since that’s how much the one link weighed 😁.
The the only things I changed was that I used Heavy Cream and a little less of the all purpose flour also use smoked paprika really gave it a nice creamy Taste. Other then that it was out of this world!!!! Also the biscuit recipe I used is very simple :
2 cups of flour
4 tablesp of cold Margarine
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 tablsp sour cream
4 tablesp cold margarine and I put in fridge for about 30 minutes mix flour with cold margarine and flour then buttermilk & Sour Cream.
Cook at 425
bake 15 to 17 mins
