Method
Biscuits
- 1
Prepare the Biscuit Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- 2
Incorporate the Butter
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 3
Add Milk
Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.

Bake the Biscuits
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.

Make the Roux
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
