Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for gravy)
• 2 cups unsalted chicken broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 pound lean ground sausage (low sodium)
• 0.5 teaspoon dried sage
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of ground black pepper.

Step 3

Cut 0.5 cup of unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add 1 cup of milk to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick round.

Step 6

Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, cook 1 pound of lean ground sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain off any excess grease.

Step 9

Sprinkle 0.25 cup of all-purpose flour over the sausage and stir well to coat.

Step 10

Gradually stir in 2 cups of unsalted chicken broth, 1 cup of whole milk, 0.5 teaspoon of dried sage, 0.5 teaspoon of dried thyme, 0.5 teaspoon of onion powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Step 11

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Add additional pepper to taste.

Step 12

To serve, split the warm biscuits in half and spoon the sausage gravy over them. Serve immediately.
