Method
Biscuits
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing 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 ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Buttermilk
Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Shape Biscuits
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 30 seconds. Pat into a rectangle about 1-inch thick and cut out biscuits with a biscuit cutter or a glass.

Cook Sausage

Make Roux
Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

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