This is exactly how I make gravy. I have also started making the biscuits from scratch using a flaky layers recipe I found online; it is a marginal improvement, but the gravy is still the star of the show.
I saved it to Pocket, which is apparently shut down now, so I am waiting for them to send me my exported list. I will share the recipe if they ever send my exported list, but a few key points are below.
You have to cut the butter into the dry ingredients to make pea sized bits, some people use a food processor but I do it old fashioned with a pastry blender. Then add the wet ingredients, mix, and do a few rounds of rolling and folding and use a small cup or round cutter to cut them out.
It sounds harder than it is, with a bit of practice it’s quick and easy. It is also a good intro to other layered pastry that is more difficult like pie crusts.

Nice! Care to share your biscuit recipe? I’m not sure I’m ready to give up the can, but it’s on my list of things to try

Thanks! Though I worry this is immediately out of my wheelhouse haha. I may stick to the can, for simplicity sake. We’ll see

Thanks for the tips and encouragement, I’m gonna give it a shot!
