- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Biscuits
- 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 cups (490 g) buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

Sausage Gravy
- In a large, 13-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat cook the sausage until browned and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F.
- To the skillet, add butter. When melted, stir in the flour.
- Add milk, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder, mixing until combined. Cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Biscuits
- To a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Use a whisk to sift the ingredients.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until mostly combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
- Using a spoon, dollop biscuit dough on top of the gravy. Then, using a knife, carefully spread it into an even layer.
- Evenly drizzle the melted butter over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Before serving, brush the top of the biscuits with melted butter and garnish with parsley.
