Equipment

  • Pressure Cooker

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment
  • Wooden Spoon

Ingredients

Gravy

  • 1 pound ground sausage pork
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • Fresh Parsley to garnish

Biscuits

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 8 Tablespoon butter cut into ½-inch pieces and chilled
  • 4 Tablespoons shortening cut into ½ inch pices and chilled
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk

Instructions

Gravy

  • Turn Instant Pot on to the SAUTE setting.
  • Add the sausage to the pot, and brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Brown for 5 minutes, do NOT drain.
  • Add chicken stock to the pot.
  • Turn pot off SAUTE mode, and place lid on, locking it into place. Set valve to sealing, and set on MANUAL pressure to cook for 5 minutes.
  • At this point, start making your biscuits.
  • Once biscuits are in the oven, whisk together flour and milk.
  • When the Instant Pot timer beeps, quick release the pressure by moving the valve to “venting.” Open the lid, and turn your Instant Pot to the SAUTE setting.
  • Pour in the milk mixture. And stir it up.
  • Taste, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to preference.
  • Cook down, stirring constantly until the gravy is thick and bubbly. About 5 minutes.
  • Turn off gravy.

Biscuits

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F with the rack in the center position.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • In a food processor, add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  • Pulse to combine.
  • Add chunks of butter and shortening, and pulse until mixture resembles a coarse sand. (About 15 pulses)
  • Transfer mix to a mixing bowl, and stir in buttermilk until just combined.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface, and knead 8-10 times to form a smooth, cohesive ball of dough.
  • Roll dough out to ¾ inch thickness.
  • Use a 2 inch or 2 ½ inch biscuit cutter, to cut out rounds, be sure to not twist the cutter.
  • Gather dough scraps and roll to ¾ inch thick. And repeat until all dough is cut into rounds.
  • Take each round, flip it over and place all 12 on lined baking sheet.
  • Place in preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes, then turn oven down to 400 degrees, and let bake until golden brown, about 10-12 additional minutes.
  • Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes.
  • The top with prepared sausage gravy.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
