Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 7 tablespoons Salted Butter
  • ¾ cup Buttermilk
  • 1 pound Sausage
  • 1 tablespoon Salted Butter
  • ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 ½ cups Whole Milk
  • 2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar Optional,
  • 1 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Pulse until well mixed.
  • Add the chilled, cubed butter to the processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour in the buttermilk and pulse just until the dough comes together. Avoid over-mixing.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Roll it out, fold it over, and roll again to create layers.
  • Cut out biscuits using a round cutter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops with buttermilk and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • As the biscuits bake, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until thoroughly browned.
  • Add the butter to the cooked sausage and stir until it melts completely for enhanced flavor.
  • Sprinkle flour over the sausage in the skillet. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes for the roux.
  • Gradually add the milk and optional vinegar, stirring consistently until smooth.
  • Season the gravy with black pepper, seasoned salt, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Let the gravy simmer for at least 5 minutes to thicken slightly before serving.
  • Spoon the gravy generously over the baked biscuits and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Keep butter and buttermilk cold for fluffy biscuits.
  • Use minimal handling to prevent tough biscuits.
  • Adjust milk gradually for desired gravy thickness.
