👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Biscuits

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Turn onto floured surface, gently pat to 1-inch thick.

6. Cut into rounds and bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown.

2️⃣ Make the Sausage Gravy

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and cooked through.

2. Sprinkle flour over sausage; stir for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.

3. Gradually whisk in milk, starting with 2 cups, until smooth.

4. Simmer, stirring frequently, 5–10 minutes until thickened.

5. Season with salt, pepper, and optional crushed red pepper.

3️⃣ Serve

• Split biscuits in half and ladle warm sausage gravy on top.

• Optional: garnish with chopped parsley or extra black pepper.

🔥 Tips for Perfect Gravy

• Use whole milk for creamier texture; half-and-half makes it ultra-rich.

• Adjust milk to achieve preferred thickness.

• If gravy gets too thick, whisk in a little extra milk.
