Instructions:

For the Biscuits:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Incorporate the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, gently pat it into a rectangle, and fold it over itself. Repeat this process a few times.
Roll out the dough to 1-inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

For the Sausage Gravy:

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground pork sausage, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
Sprinkle flour over the cooked sausage, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually add the whole milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the creamy Sausage Gravy generously over warm, flaky Biscuits and savor the irresistible combination of textures and flavors.
