Biscuits and Chorizo Gravy

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!
