Method
Biscuits
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
- 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
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.
- 5
Shape the Biscuits
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it is cohesive. Pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
- 6
Bake the Biscuits
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes.
- 8
Make the Roux
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
- 9
Add Milk
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- 10
Season the Gravy
Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture. Stir until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- 11
Serve
Once the gravy is thickened, remove it from heat. Serve the hot biscuits topped with the sausage gravy.
