Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Add the heavy cream and mix into a shaggy dough without kneading.
3. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and shape it into a rough log about 3 inches wide and 9 inches long. Cut it into three biscuits with a sharp knife.
4. Transfer the biscuits to a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Brushing with heavy cream or melted butter before baking gives darker, more even browning, if you like.
5. For the gravy, cook the sausage in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until no longer pink. If the pan is very dry, add a couple of teaspoons of oil or butter.
6. Add 1 tablespoon of flour and stir to combine.
7. Whisk in the heavy cream or milk and bring to a simmer, stirring often. Thin with more cream or milk if too thick.
8. Season generously with black pepper and salt.
9. When the biscuits are done, transfer to a plate and smother with the sausage gravy.
