I have also made these before, and they are fantastic. I know they are typically a breakfast food, but I made them for supper. I love making everything from scratch. It gives a sense of accomplishment. Also, it makes it feel healthier even if it isn't. The recipe I followed didn't give specific measurements for the milk and flour in the gravy, but just add a little at a time.
Biscuits & Gravy
Biscuits
6 cups Flour
1 cup Crisco
3 tablespoons baking powder
2 cups buttermilk*
1 tablespoons salt
1 cup Crisco
3 tablespoons baking powder
2 cups buttermilk*
1 tablespoons salt
Mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl, cut in shortening. Stir in milk and mix, making sure the dough is moistened. Mix in enough flour to make a soft dough adding more flour as needed. Turn out onto floured surface adding more flour a little at a time until dough can be formed into a ball. Knead 15 times. Gently flatten dough with your hands. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place on baking sheet, bake at 425 degrees until tops are golden brown, between 10-15 minutes.
**Buttermilk Tip: Take Milk or Powdered Milk and add 1 tsp of Vinegar, per cup.
Gravy
4 sausage patties
dollop butter
flour
milk
If you use sausage patties, then use 4, or if you use a tube, then make 4 patties. Fry them up, drain off most of the oil, break up the sausage into pieces, and add a dollop of butter. Add some flour to coat the sausage. Fry for a few minutes, and then slowly add some milk. Mix and stir and allow to thicken a little. Continue to add milk* and repeat. Add in salt, pepper and butter. Southern Sausage Gravy is peppery, so make sure you add enough pepper!
