Biscuit Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat sheet.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold butter (cut into small pieces) to the bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to quickly work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse sand.
Pour in the milk and gently stir until the dough just comes together.
Using a large spoon, drop the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuit is golden brown.

Sausage Gravy Instructions

Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. To check if the skillet is ready, add a few drops of water; when they evaporate, the pan is hot enough. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and use a spatula to break it into smaller pieces. Cook until the sausage is fully browned.
Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir frequently for 1 minute. Gradually stir in the milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens and becomes bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Add the seasoning and stir for another 30 seconds.
Pro Tip: If the gravy becomes too thick, stir in an extra tablespoon of milk to adjust the consistency.

Assembling the Biscuit with Gravy

Slice the biscuit in half and place it in a bowl or on a plate.
Spoon the sausage gravy over one half of the biscuit, then top with the other half. Serve warm.

Notes

Prep Ahead: Gather and measure all your ingredients before starting. This helps the cooking process go smoothly.
Biscuit Timing: Mix the biscuit dough first so it’s ready to bake. Put it in the oven just as you start browning the sausage, so everything finishes around the same time.
Gravy Care: Stir the gravy continuously to prevent it from thickening too quickly. If it becomes lumpy, add a little milk and stir to smooth it out.
