Ingredients
  

For the Biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

3/4 cup buttermilk

For the Chorizo Gravy:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pound chorizo sausage (casings removed)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups whole milk

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Biscuits:

    - Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).

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

        - Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

          - Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix.

            - Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it for about 30 seconds. Pat it down to a thickness of about 1 inch.

              - Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are close together but not touching.

                - Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

                  Make the Chorizo Gravy:

                    - In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and chorizo. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).

                      - Sprinkle the flour over the cooked chorizo and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

                        - Gradually pour in the whole milk, continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

                          - Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the gravy simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

                            Serve:

                              - Split the warm biscuits in half and ladle generous amounts of chorizo gravy over the top.

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