Ingredients
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small chunks
  • ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt, cold
  • 2 ¾ cups milk, cold, divided
  • 1 egg
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sage
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl whisk together 2 ½ cups of flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Add the cold butter to the bowl. Use a fork, a pastry cutter, or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse sand.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, ¼ cup of milk, and the egg.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix well until a wet shaggy dough forms. Use your hands to form the dough into a ball.
  6. Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll the dough out until it is about ¾-inch thick. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, placing them on the prepared baking sheet as you cut them out so that they are touching. When you have no more room to cut out biscuits re-roll the dough scraps and continue cutting biscuits until there is no more dough left.
  7. Bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden.
  8. Meanwhile, add the sausage to a large skillet and cook it on medium heat, breaking it up into smaller pieces as it cooks. Continue cooking until the sausage is browned, about 10 minutes.
  9. Add ¼ cup of flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, pepper, sage, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, and nutmeg to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly until the flour and seasonings have been absorbed.
  10. Slowly add in the remaining 2 ½ cups of milk and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until the gravy thickens to the desired consistency, about 5 minutes. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
  11. Serve the gravy over the warm biscuits. Sprinkle parsley on top if desired.
