Ingredients

Biscuits:

2 ¼ cups flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup melted butter, slightly cooled
1 cup buttermilk

Sausage gravy:

1 pound ground pork
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon salt
¼ - ½ teaspoon black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions

Biscuits:

Preheat oven to 450° F.
Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together butter and buttermilk until mixture appears lumpy.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix together until just combined.
Scoop about a ¼ cup of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Continue with remaining dough, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
Bake 15-17 minutes until tops are golden brown.

Sausage Gravy:

Add ground pork to large skillet and season with ginger, sage, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium. Melt the butter in the skillet with the pork then mix in the flour. Cook an additional minute, stirring occasionally. Mix in the milk until combined and cook until thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and whisk in the heavy cream. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until thickend. Mix in the cheddar cheese.
Serve over warm biscuits!

Notes

*Use a spoon to scoop the flour into your measuring cup and then level it off. When you scoop your measuring cup directly into the flour it packs it into the measuring cup, resulting in too much flour.
