Ingredients
- For the Biscuits:

- 1 pound breakfast sausage

- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Instructions
- Make the Biscuits: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until just combined. Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently. Roll out to 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits.
- Bake the Biscuits: Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Prepare the Gravy: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned. Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir well, cooking for about 1 minute. Gradually add milk, whisking to combine. Cook until the gravy thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Serve: Split the warm biscuits in half and ladle the sausage gravy generously over the top. Enjoy hot!
