Ingredients
For the Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour 
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
For the Sausage Gravy:
1 pound breakfast sausage (preferably spicy or sage-flavored)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Crushed red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)
Instructions
For the Biscuits:
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add buttermilk and stir until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, knead it a few times, then pat it into a 1-inch thick round.
Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a drinking glass, then place them on a baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, and set aside while you prepare the gravy.
For the Sausage Gravy:
Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and crumbled.
Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir to coat evenly.
Slowly add milk while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Bring to a simmer, and cook until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
To Serve:
Split the biscuits in half and ladle the sausage gravy generously over them.
Enjoy this Southern comfort food with a side of crispy bacon or eggs for an extra treat!
