Preheat oven to 400°F. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a medium bowl, and whisk to combine.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Cube cold butter and add it to the flour mixture. Toss to coat the butter with flour and rub the butter into the flour to form coarse crumbs. Work quickly so the butter does not melt!
⅓ cup butter
Add egg, yogurt, and milk to a small bowl and beat to combine.
½ cup yogurt plain, 1 large egg, 3 Tablespoons milk
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the liquid mixture to it and mix with a spatula until it forms a wet dough.
Use a 2 oz. ice cream scoop to portion the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 8 equally sized biscuits. Alternatively, form the biscuits with your hands.
Bake for 17 minutes at 400°F. Transfer to a wire rack to cool while you make your gravy.

Add the sausage to a skillet over high heat, then break up the meat as it cooks and let it brown.
1 lb Sage sausage
Stir in the butter, mixing well until it's completely melted.
3 Tablespoons Butter
Add in the flour, and mix until no dry spots remain and it's completely mixed into the liquids.
⅓ cup Flour
Mixing continuously, slowly pour in about half the milk. Let it cook for a minute or two, until it absorbs the flour and starts to thicken. Slowly add the rest of the milk, stirring continuously.
3 cups Milk
Let it cook another minute, then add the syrup, pepper, steak seasoning, and garlic powder. Add salt to taste.
1 teaspoon Steak seasoning, ½ teaspoon Garlic powder, Salt and pepper, sprinkle Red pepper flakes, 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
Mix, then allow it to bubble and thicken until reduced to a nice thick gravy, then pour on biscuits and serve!

- You can make your own biscuits for this recipe, but for an extra easy breakfast, you can also use canned biscuit dough. Baked up in the air fryer, they're done in minutes and fresh for the meal!

- This is a great recipe for making ahead- it actually gets better! Letting the gravy rest overnight and heating it up in the morning will enhance the flavors.

- If you can't find sage breakfast sausage, don't worry! Add your own dried sage to the meat as well as marjoram, cloves, and brown sugar for homemade sage seasoning.

- Seriously, make sure to add the milk slowly. This will ensure that it creates a roux, instead of just getting clumpy!
