In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.
Cut in butter, using a pastry blender or two knives, until butter pieces are pea-sized.
Slowly add buttermilk, stirring lightly, just until mixture comes together.
Generously sprinkle your counter or board with flour, turn out dough, and knead lightly for six turns only. That’s it – do not over work your dough.
Pat dough into a rectangle, 3/4” thick. Cut into eight squares with a sharp knife.
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, brush tops with buttermilk (if desired) and bake for 10 – 12 minutes, or until golden. Serve with sausage gravy.
For the gravy:
Crumble sausages into a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and no longer pink. If there is little fat in the pan, add 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil. Whisk in oat flour, salt, pepper and thyme, cooking until oil is absorbed. Do not brown.
Gradually whisk in milk, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until gravy thickens. Serve immediately over warm, split biscuits.
