Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with non-stick spray and set it aside.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

Add Butter: Use a pastry cutter to cut cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add Buttermilk: Create a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Gently fold the mixture until the dough starts to come together.

Prepare Work Surface: Lightly flour a clean work surface and transfer the dough onto it.

Knead Dough: Flour your hands and gently work the dough together, shaping it into a ¾-inch thick rectangle.

Fold Dough: Fold one long side of the rectangle into the center, then fold the other long side over it. Rotate the dough 90 degrees, gently flatten it again into a rectangle, and repeat the folding process. Fold and rotate this two more times.

Final Flattening: Flatten the dough into a rectangle approximately 1¼ inches thick after the last fold.

Cut Biscuits: Use a 2½ or 3-inch biscuit cutter (or a large glass) to cut the biscuits. Press the cutter straight down and lift straight up without twisting to ensure the biscuits rise properly.

Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, brush the tops with extra buttermilk for a golden finish.

Bake: Bake the biscuits for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown.

Finish: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and brush them with melted butter for added richness.

Cook Sausage: Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and lightly spray it with non-stick spray. Add the ground sausage and cook until it forms crumbles and is browned.

Add Butter: Once the sausage is cooked, add the butter to the pan and stir until melted, coating the sausage.

Incorporate Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the sausage mixture and stir until fully incorporated.

Add Milk: Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Cook until the gravy thickens, which should take about 3-5 minutes.

Season and Finish: Sprinkle with black pepper to taste and remove from heat.

Serve: Place a warm biscuit on a plate and spoon the desired amount of gravy over the top.

Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade biscuits and gravy!
