Steps:
- Heat a skillet to medium heat and brown sausage until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes a side. Reserve the fat in the pan and set aside the sausage. Add the butter to reserved fat and melt. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in the flour and cook until blonde, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk and some salt and pepper, and simmer until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. When ready to serve, stir in the chopped chives.
- For the sandwich build: With a fork, carefully split a hot Grapevine KY Buttermilk Biscuit in half. On the bottom biscuits, drizzle some honey, and then place the sausage patties delightfully on top. Slather on some gravy and top with the other biscuit half -- simple, yet mind blowing.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a heavy cast-iron skillet (preferably 12 inch) into the oven to preheat. Chill a large mixing bowl, pastry cutter, the flour and 1 stick of the butter in the freezer 15 minutes before assembling the biscuits.
- Add the flour to the chilled mixing bowl. Working quickly, cut 1 stick of the butter into the flour using the chilled pastry cutter (or your fingers); the goal here is pea-size balls of butter. In batches, add in the buttermilk until the dough is cohesive yet still moist. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and lightly press into a 1-inch-thick round. Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or the business end of a dry measuring cup, cut out 10 biscuits. (Use the extra dough to cook up a big piece of shortcake for dessert....strawberry shortcake!)
- Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the oil. Place the dough rounds into the hot skillet, right up against each other, and brush with the melted butter. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes.
MAMAW'S GOOD OL' BISCUITS AND SAUSAGE GRAVY
Before moving to Florida, I had never even heard of "Biscuits & Sausage Gravy". This is a recipe of a dear friend's late grandmother, a true Southern lady. For some reason, the guys really go crazy for this dish. Add eggs, cooked your favorite way, and you have a real country-style breakfast. If you don't have time or feel like making the biscuits, Pillsbury's Grands Buttermilk Biscuits are very good.

MERM'S BISCUITS AND SAUSAGE GRAVY
This is a slightly modified version of my beloved Mom's (her grandkids called her Merm) recipe. My family loves this stuff and they insist I make it for breakfast every holiday and sometime for dinner. I serve it by putting the buttered biscuits on a big plate, smothering them with the gravy and then topping them with either scrambled or over-easy eggs, depending on the preference of the person eating them. This is pure comfort food for my family!
