Ingredients for the perfect gravy

• 1 Tbsp. salted butter
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 12 oz. ground pork sausage
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
• 3 cups milk
• 1 tsp. salt, divided
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper, divided
• 1/3 cup fresh chives and/or sage, chopped
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/3 cup salted butter, cut up
• 3 Tbsp. shortening
• 1 cup buttermilk

Steps to bake the biscuits

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Cut in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the buttermilk and stir just until moistened. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until nearly smooth. Pat or lightly roll the dough until ¾ inch thick and cut with a floured 2¾- to 3-inch biscuit cutter. Top the gravy with biscuit cutouts, spacing evenly, and bake until golden and bubbly.

Variations for a flavorful experience

For a spicy kick, use hot Italian sausage, pepper, and tomato. For a vegetarian option, omit the sausage and add mushrooms, onion, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce. Or make all three for a biscuit and gravy 'flight'—now that's a party!
