Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Gravy:

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups water
salt and ground black pepper to taste

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
2
Whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a bowl; cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly. Mix in egg and milk until incorporated. Turn dough out onto a well-floured work surface and knead for 1 minute.
3
Roll dough out to a thickness of 3/4 to 1-inch thick, cut with a biscuit cutter, and place biscuits onto prepared baking sheet. Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
5
Cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir 1/4 cup butter into sausage until butter has melted and mix in 1/4 cup flour until thoroughly combined. Pour evaporated milk and water into sausage mixture, bring gravy to a simmer, and reduce heat to low; simmer gravy until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Serve biscuits with sausage gravy.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
