- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Cut in 0.5 cup of unsalted butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 0.75 cup of milk, stirring with a fork until the dough holds together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 10 times.
Roll or pat the dough to 1/2-inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter.
Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
While the biscuits bake, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 0.5 cup of finely chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add 1 package of vegetarian sausage crumbles to the skillet and cook until browned.
Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the sausage mixture, stirring to incorporate.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of soy milk and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens.
Season the gravy with 0.5 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of minced fresh parsley.
Split the warm biscuits and spoon the sausage gravy generously over them before serving.
