Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 450F. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

2

Pour in buttermilk and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface, pat to 1-inch thick, and cut into rounds. Place on a baking sheet and bake 12-14 minutes until golden.

Tip: Don't twist the cutter when cutting biscuits. Press straight down so they rise evenly.

3

While biscuits bake, brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles. Do not drain the fat.

4

Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly.

5

Cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper.

6

Split the biscuits and ladle the sausage gravy generously over top.
