      Instructions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Make the Biscuits<\/strong><\/h4>\n
        \n
      1. Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.<\/li>\n
      3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.<\/li>\n
      4. Pour in cold buttermilk and gently stir just until combined (do not overmix).<\/li>\n
      5. Turn dough onto a floured surface, gently pat to about 1-inch thickness<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      6. Cut biscuits using a round cutter or glass.<\/li>\n
      7. Place on a baking sheet (touching for soft sides).<\/li>\n
      8. Bake 12\u201315 minutes<\/strong>, until golden brown.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Make the Sausage Gravy<\/strong><\/h4>\n
          \n
        1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.<\/li>\n
        2. Sprinkle flour evenly over the sausage and stir well. Cook 1\u20132 minutes<\/strong> to remove raw flour taste.<\/li>\n
        3. Slowly pour in warm milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.<\/li>\n
        4. Simmer until thickened, about 5\u20137 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        5. Season with salt, black pepper, and optional spices. Adjust consistency with more milk if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Split warm biscuits in half and generously ladle sausage gravy over the top. Serve hot.<\/p>\n

          Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Extra black pepper is traditional \u2014 don\u2019t be shy.<\/li>\n
          • For extra richness, add a tablespoon of butter to the gravy.<\/li>\n
          • Leftover gravy reheats well with a splash of milk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
