Ingredients
  

For the Biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1 cup buttermilk

For the Chorizo Gravy:

8 oz chorizo sausage, casing removed and crumbled

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups whole milk

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Biscuits: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. For flakier biscuits, avoid over-kneading; it’s okay if the dough is slightly shaggy.

      Turn the dough onto a floured surface, flatten it to about 1-inch thick, and cut out biscuits with a round cutter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

        Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

          Prepare the Chorizo Gravy: While the biscuits are baking, cook the crumbled chorizo in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside, leaving the fat in the pan.

            In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux.

              Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens (about 5-7 minutes).

                Stir back in the cooked chorizo, then add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Let it simmer gently.

                  Serve: Split the warm biscuits in half and ladle a generous amount of spicy chorizo gravy over the top. Enjoy your delicious and hearty meal!
