Gluten Free Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

Frozen butter grated straight into the dry mix is the trick behind these biscuits' shattery layers, and a quick fold-and-pat technique builds height without overworking the dough. Cold buttermilk brings just enough tang to balance the richness, and a final brush before baking gives every biscuit that deep golden crust. The gravy is built right in the sausage skillet, where crumbled pork breakfast sausage browns in its own fat before whole milk gets whisked in for a thick, ladle-worthy sauce. A generous hit of black pepper and a pinch of cayenne keep it bold and savory, exactly how good sausage gravy should taste. Split warm and topped with that peppery gravy, this is a hearty, from-scratch breakfast that works well on a gluten free table. It's the kind of comfort-food classic you'll want in regular rotation.
