COUNTRY SAUSAGE GRAVY AND BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Before you get started, get your biscuit's on a pan following the pkg. directions.
• While your sausage if frying up, put your biscuits in the oven, by time your done make this, your biscuits will be done, and nice and hot.
• In a large frying pan, brown your sausage and break it up with a snake potato masher or fork.
• Once it is nicely browned, pull sausage to the sides of the pan so that the drippings drain into the middle.
• Spoon a 1/2 cup of the flour into the drippings and mix good till it's nice and brown, add a little more flour if need be.
• Once you have the flour browned, start folding in the sausage.
• Mix 2 cups water with 1 cup milk and stir together.
• Start slowly pouring the milk and water mix into the the sausage mixture,.
• Only pour what you need to get a nice consistency.
• (Tip): if you need to add more flour after the milk and water have been added, you need to add the flour to a little cool water, stir till smooth, then add that to your sausage mixture, otherwise like any other gravy, you will get flour lumps.
• Use your judgement on adding more milk or water to your taste.
• * Don't forget: heat of flame must be at least Medium High heat so that the flour will expand and smooth out.
• Once you get it to how you like it, turn your heat down, you don't want to burn your gravy. AND -- the gravy will thicken as it sits, so don't make it too thick.
• Add salt and pepper and a teaspoons of sage. (the sage is to your taste also, but we've been using it since I was born., and it just makes it wonderful. If you like Bob Evans sausage gravy, you love this even more).
• Pour over freshly baked buttermilk biscuits -- or your own.
• ( but if your making your own, make them first before you even think of making this gravy).
• Enjoy!

SOUTHERN FRIED EGGS OVER BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crack 4 eggs into skillet, and cook, uncovered, until whites are set, about 2 minutes.

Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS N SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. Set the oven temp to 450. Pan Prep: The kind of pan you use makes a difference with biscuits, oddly enough. For example, I do not recommend glass baking dishes for this. If that's all you have, reduce the heat to 400. The biscuits may not brown on the bottom as well. IF YOU HAVE IT, use a large cast iron skillet. Put 1 tbsp of Crisco or shortening in and set in the oven so as it heats and the shortening melts. This is an extra step that gives a crispy outside crust with a fluffy inside. It is not essential and this step can be skipped. Or you can bake them on a stone baking sheet. If so, reduce heat to 425. Or you can use a metal baking sheet. If so, try to double stack the baking sheets, putting one on top of the other to insulate the pan and keep it from burning the bottoms of the biscuits before they are done. Metal pans get very hot.
• 2. Whisk all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the flour mixture. You can do this with a pastry cutter, 2 knives slashing against each other, you can squish the butter in with your fingers or you can pour it all into a food processor and pulse just a few times. So many options!
• 3. Start to pour in the buttermilk to the dry ingredients, mixing with a fork. You may not need all the buttermilk or you may even need more. You want the dough to be sticky, but not too wet that you cant handle it. If it is too wet, add a little more flour in. NOTE: if you don't have buttermilk, you can use milk. You will need less of it because it is not as thick. And, if you use milk, leave out the baking soda. The baking soda reacts with the acid in the buttermilk and is not needed if milk is used.
• 4. Flour a countertop, cutting board or something like that. Scoop out the dough and sprinkle some flour on it. Fold the dough over itself 2 or 3 times using your hands dipped in flour. Now pat the dough out to about an inch thick. The thicker the dough now, the higher the biscuits. Cut them with a biscuit cutter or a cleaned out empty can. Do not twist while cutting, just dip the cutter in flour, push down on the dough and pull up. If it sticks, just tap it out. Set the biscuits aside. Take the dough scraps, knead them together, pat out and cut out some more biscuits. Throw away any scraps after that.
• 5. When they are all cut, pull the hot skillet out of the oven and carefully(!!!) place each biscuit into the hot oil. You can put them pretty close together, but not touching. The closer they are the more the biscuits, as they start to expand, are forced into going up instead of out. Tall instead of short and wide. Carefully flip each biscuit over so both sides have oil. Place the pan (use lots of oven mitts!) back into the hot oven and set the timer for 10 minutes.
• 6. When the timer goes off, check them. If they are golden brown, remove from the oven. If not, rotate the pan because, remember, the back of the oven is hotter than the front. Keep an eye and they will soon be brown and ready to go.
• 7. SAUSAGE GRAVY: Cook the sausage, breaking it up with a spatula or wooden utensil into small clumps. When it is no longer pink and looks cooked, sprinkle on the flour. Cook this in, stirring for about 1 minute or so. Now add your milk, pouring in slowly, stirring and cooking on medium low heat. It will thicken up as it goes. If it is too thick, add a little more milk until it is the way you like it. Add some salt and pepper to taste.
• 8. Pour this over a cut open biscuit and enjoy!

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH SAUSAGE GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Combine the buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and gently mix until just combined.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly using the heel of your hand to compress and push the dough away from you, and then fold it back over itself. Give the dough a small turn and repeat eight or so times. (It's not yeast bread; you want to just barely activate the gluten, not overwork it.) Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out 1/2 inch thick. Cut out rounds of dough with a 1 1/2-inch round cutter dipped in flour; press the cutter straight down without twisting so the biscuits will rise evenly when baked.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using a wooden spoon, break up the meat into small pieces. Cook until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour off any excess rendered fat. Add the onions and cook until clear and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and stir to combine and coat. Add the milk and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool just slightly. Split and serve hot with the sausage gravy.
