Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 pound country sausage
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for gravy
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until combined; do not over-mix.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
  • Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass; place them on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Prepare the sausage gravy while the biscuits bake. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir to combine, cooking for another minute.
  • Slowly add the milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps; bring to a simmer.
  • Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and optional cayenne to taste; cook until thickened.
  • Serve the hot biscuits topped with the sausage gravy.
