Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until fully mixed.

- While the biscuits are baking, prepare the gravy. In a skillet, cook the ground sausage until browned.
- Sprinkle the additional flour over the sausage and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly until the gravy thickens.
- Season the gravy with black pepper to taste.
- Once the biscuits are done, cut them in half and pour the hot sausage gravy over them.
- Serve warm, garnished with optional herbs if desired.
