Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and diced
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 1 pound pork sausage
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.

Step 3

Cut 6 tablespoons of chilled and diced unsalted butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Make a well in the center and pour in 3/4 cup of buttermilk. Stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently about 5 times. Pat the dough out to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Step 6

Using a biscuit cutter or a round glass, cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, cook the 1 pound of pork sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon.

Step 9

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour over the cooked sausage and stir until the flour is absorbed, about 1 minute.

Step 10

Gradually whisk in 3 cups of whole milk, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 11

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 12

Season the gravy with 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, or to taste.

Step 13

Slice the warm biscuits in half and ladle the sausage gravy over the top. Serve immediately.
