2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
0.5 cup unsalted butter
0.75 cup milk
0.5 lb chorizo sausage
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp salt
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Begin making the biscuits by mixing the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
- Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk gradually until a dough forms. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, knead gently, then roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the biscuits are baking, cook the chorizo in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Remove the cooked chorizo from the skillet and set aside. Leave about 2 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet.
- Stir in the flour into the drippings over medium heat and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, continuously stirring to prevent lumps, and cook until the mixture thickens like gravy.
- Return the cooked chorizo to the skillet, season with black pepper and salt, and stir to combine the flavors.
- Serve the hot chorizo gravy over the freshly baked biscuits, and enjoy!
