# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Cut cold cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
02 -
Add buttermilk to the mixture and stir gently until just combined without overmixing. Pat dough to a thickness of approximately 2.5 cm on a floured surface. Cut into biscuit shapes and place on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
03 -
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the breakfast sausage thoroughly, breaking it into small pieces. Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage and stir continuously for one minute to cook the flour.
04 -
Gradually pour milk into the skillet while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer the mixture until it thickens to a creamy consistency. Season with black pepper, salt to taste, and optional cayenne or smoked paprika if desired.
05 -
Split the freshly baked biscuits horizontally and generously ladle the hot sausage gravy over the top. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use cold butter for the biscuits to ensure flakiness. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep them tender.
