Ingredients

Biscuits

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup cold unsalted butter cubed
• ¾ cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar added)

Gravy

• 1 lb breakfast sausage
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat

Directions

Biscuits

• Preheat to 450°F.
• In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Add cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir in buttermilk until just combined; don’t overmix.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
• Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Gravy

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly.
• Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir for 1-2 minutes.
• Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly. Cook until gravy thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
• Add salt and pepper to taste, and optional red pepper flakes.

Serve

• Split the warm biscuits and spoon the sausage gravy over them. Enjoy your hearty meal!
