Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- To make the Biscuits, whisk together the Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda, and Salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in the Cold Butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the Buttermilk and Heavy Cream, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat down to about 3/4 inch thickness. Cut out biscuits using a 2-inch cutter.
- Place biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While biscuits are baking, make the Gravy. Cook the Italian Sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbled.
- Drain off any excess grease, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the skillet.
- Sprinkle the Flour over the sausage and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the Whole Milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the Black Pepper, Salt, and Cayenne Pepper. Serve the Gravy hot over the warm Biscuits.
