Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 450°F. In a bowl, mix 2 cups self-rising flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 cup buttermilk until dough forms. Knead gently and let rest 5 minutes.
- Step 2: Roll dough into a 12-inch log, slice into 12 equal pieces, and shape into rounds. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Step 3: Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and puffed. While biscuits bake, cook sausage links in a skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes, then add 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup smoked sausage gravy mix. Simmer until thickened, 5-7 minutes.
- Step 4: Top each biscuit with 1 tbsp gravy and 1 tbsp shredded cheddar. Serve immediately.
