Method
Biscuits
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
- 3
Cut in Butter
Add the cold unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- 4
Add Buttermilk
Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
- 5
Shape Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 6
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cook Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground sausage. Cook until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes.

Make Roux
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

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

Season Gravy
Season the gravy with salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.
- 11
Serve
Remove the gravy from heat and serve hot over the freshly baked biscuits.
