- 500 g ground sausage (beef or chicken)

- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2–3 cups milk
- Salt & black pepper (go heavy on pepper!)
- Optional: pinch of chili flakes
For the biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter (cubed)

🍳 2. Prepare the sausage gravy
