Gradually stir in 3/4 cup of milk until the dough comes together.

Place the biscuits on a greased baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

While the biscuits are baking, cook 1 pound of breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
