For the Biscuits:

- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
For the Sausage Gravy:
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Make the Biscuits:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in buttermilk until just combined.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently pat it to about 1-inch thickness, and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
- Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
Make the Gravy:
- While biscuits bake, cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned.
- Add butter, then stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
- Slowly whisk in milk, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne if using. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Serve:
- Split biscuits in half and ladle sausage gravy over the top. Serve warm!
Notes
- For extra flaky biscuits, fold the dough over itself a few times before cutting.
- Want thicker gravy? Let it simmer a little longer or add an extra tablespoon of flour.
- Serve with scrambled eggs and hash browns for the ultimate Southern breakfast!
