Tips for Making the Best Biscuits and Gravy Bombs
Getting this dish perfect requires attention to a few key details. Here are some tips to ensure your Biscuits and Gravy Bombs are a triumph:
- Use cold butter for flakier biscuits. It’s a trick I learned from my grandmother, and it never fails.

- Ensure your sausage gravy is thick but not too dry; you want it to stay inside the biscuit.
- Seal the edges well to keep the gravy from leaking out during baking.
