1 lb breakfast sausage (pork or your choice)

Instructions
Make the Biscuits:

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in milk until just combined; do not overmix.
Roll dough on a floured surface and cut into biscuits.
Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
Make the Sausage Gravy:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and fully cooked.
Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in milk until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional).
Simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until gravy thickens.
Serve:
Split the warm biscuits in half and generously pour creamy sausage gravy over them.
