Biscuits
Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (2 ounces or 4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cold and cut into 8 pieces
1/2 cup buttermilk, cold
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl of a food processor.
Add the butter pieces and pulse until butter is cut into the flour mixture, looking like pebbles of different sizes.
Add the buttermilk and pulse until a dough forms and is no longer crumbly. Alternatively, you can add the dry ingredients to a large bowl, cut in the butter using a pastry cutter, and stir in the buttermilk with a spoon.
Drop the dough into 6 biscuits onto the baking sheet. Bake 15-17 minutes or until golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, make the gravy.
 

Gravy
Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 pound pork sausage, thawed
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
Heat a dry large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the sausage, breaking it into pieces with your spatula (the more it cooks, the more it'll be easier to break up).
Add the onion and cook until the sausage is no longer pink, roughly 5-8 minutes.
Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to a bowl or plate lined with paper towels. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of grease from the skillet.
Place the skillet back on the heat and whisk in the flour to make a roux (paste). Cook an additional minute or until it starts to brown. Gradually whisk in the milk, whisking constantly to smooth out any lumps. Bring to a boil.
Once boiling, cook until it thickens, roughly 3-5 minutes, whisking often.
Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and Worcestershire sauce. Taste the gravy with a piece of sausage. If it's not too salty, add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Add the sausage back to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Serve hot over warm biscuits.
