Knead the dough on a floured surface, rolling it out and folding it to create layers.

Cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet.

Bake the biscuits in the oven for about 18 minutes.

In a skillet, cook 1 cup of breakfast sausage until browned.

Add some flour to the sausage in the skillet to create a roux.

Pour in 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of whole milk or whipping cream, whisking to combine.

Season the gravy with black pepper and a little bit of red pepper flakes.

Serve the sausage gravy over the baked biscuits.
