Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
• 2 cups milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt (for gravy)
• 1 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda.

Step 3

Cut in 8 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Make a well in the center and pour in 1 cup of buttermilk. Stir until just combined.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently until smooth. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Step 6

Roll out or pat the dough to about 1/2 inch thick and cut with a biscuit cutter.

Step 7

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, prepare the sausage gravy. In a skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles until fully cooked.

Step 9

Sprinkle 0.25 cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir well to combine, cooking for another minute.

Step 10

Gradually stir in 2 cups of milk, continuing to stir until the mixture is smooth and thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 11

Season the gravy with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 12

Once the biscuits are done, split them open and ladle the hot sausage gravy over top. Serve immediately.
