Method
Biscuits
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- 3
Cut in the Butter
Add the cold unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Milk
Pour in the milk gradually, stirring until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

Shape the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently pat it out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuits.

Bake the Biscuits

Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula.

Make a Roux
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine, allowing it to cook for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Add Milk
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Season the Gravy
Add salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder to taste. Stir well to combine.

Serve
Once the biscuits are baked and the gravy is thickened, serve the biscuits topped with the sausage gravy.
