Ingredients
  

For the Biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

3/4 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

For the Chorizo Gravy:

1/2 pound chorizo sausage, casings removed

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups whole milk

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

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. Stir until well combined.

        - Add the cold cubed butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

          - Pour in the buttermilk and honey (if using). Stir until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.

            - Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Fold the dough over itself three times, then gently roll it out again to about 1-inch thick.

              - Cut out biscuits using a round cutter or a glass. 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 over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.

                      - In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until bubbly and lightly golden.

                        - Gradually add the whole milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Raise the heat to medium-high, and continue to whisk until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

                          - Stir in the cooked chorizo, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed and remove from heat.

                            Serve:

                              - Split the warm biscuits in half and ladle the chorizo gravy generously over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
