Ingredients
  

For the Biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed

3/4 cup buttermilk

For the Chorizo Gravy:

1/2 pound spicy chorizo sausage, removed from casing

1 tablespoon olive oil (if needed)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups whole milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Make the Biscuits:

    - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

      - In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

        - Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

          - Slowly pour in the buttermilk, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            - Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a thickness of about 1 inch.

              - Use a round cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

                - Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

                  Prepare the Chorizo Gravy:

                    - In a large skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. If your chorizo is lean, add a tablespoon of olive oil as needed.

                      - Sprinkle the flour over the cooked chorizo and stir to combine, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.

                        - Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

                          - Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-8 minutes.

                            Assemble:

                              - Split the warm biscuits in half and ladle the chorizo gravy generously over each half.

                                - Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
