Method
For the Biscuits
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- 3
Cut in Butter
Add the unsalted butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- 4
Add Buttermilk
Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- 5
Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently fold it over itself a few times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
- 6
Bake the Biscuits
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
- 8
Make the Roux
Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine, cooking for about 1-2 minutes.
- 9
Add Milk
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- 10
Season the Gravy
Add the salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder to the gravy. Stir well until fully combined.
- 11
Serve the Gravy
Once thickened, remove the gravy from heat and serve it hot over the freshly baked biscuits.
