Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp salt. Cut in 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter with a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 3/4 cup cold buttermilk until just combined. Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently knead 3-4 times; pat dough to 1-inch thickness and cut out 8 biscuits using a 2.5-inch round cutter. Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
2. Step 2: While biscuits bake, cook 8 oz ground pork sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking up meat until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Sprinkle 3 tbsp all-purpose flour over sausage and stir for 1 minute to cook flour taste out.
3. Step 3: Slowly whisk in 2 cups whole milk to sausage mixture, continuing to whisk until gravy thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Season with 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper and adjust salt if needed.
4. Step 4: In a separate non-stick skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Crack 4 large eggs into the skillet and cook until whites are set but yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Step 5: To assemble, slice each biscuit in half. Spoon generous amounts of sausage gravy onto biscuit bottoms, top with one fried egg each, then cover with biscuit tops. Add hot sauce if desired and serve immediately.
