Biscuitsandgravy Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and stir just until the pieces are coated with the flour mixture. Whisk together the milk and egg in a small bowl. Add milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix the dough. Cut in the butter.
• Flour your workspace. Turn the dough onto the workspace and pat into a 1/2-inch-thick slab. Using a biscuit cutter (or any round rimmed object), cut out 8 to 10 biscuits. Transfer the biscuits to the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don't touch, and bake until they've risen slightly and are lightly browned around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Top with butter and keep warm.
• For the sausage gravy: Heat a very large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until browned, about 15 minutes. Add the cream and thyme, bring to a simmer, and simmer for 25 minutes. Stir together the cornstarch and 1 cup cold water in a medium bowl. Stirring constantly, pour the slurry into the pot. Simmer, stirring often, until the gravy thickens.
• Split each biscuit in half and top with about ¾ cup of the sausage gravy. Extra gravy will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to 7 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a bowl; cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly. Mix in egg and milk until incorporated. Turn dough out onto a well-floured work surface and knead for 1 minute.
• Roll dough out to a thickness of 3/4 to 1-inch thick, cut with a biscuit cutter, and place biscuits onto prepared baking sheet. Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir 1/4 cup butter into sausage until butter has melted and mix in 1/4 cup flour until thoroughly combined. Pour evaporated milk and water into sausage mixture, bring gravy to a simmer, and reduce heat to low; simmer gravy until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Serve biscuits with sausage gravy.

Steps:

• While the Biscuts are baking, fry the sausage in a large, heavy skillet until done.
• Remove with a slotted spoon.
• Leave about 4 or 5 T.of the fat in the pan and add the flour-whisking fast.
• SLOWLY add the milk, whisking like crazy until you have a nice, thick gravy.
• Taste and add salt and pepper.
• Add cooked sausage.
• Remove biscuits from oven, split and pour gravy on top.
• Top with cheese if you like.
• Serve with scrambled eggs.

Steps:

• Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces. Set aside.
• In a bowl, mix the eggs, milk, pepper, and salt. Set aside.
• For the gravy: melt the butter in a saucepan, over medium heat. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper, and slowly add the 2 cups of milk.
• Increase to medium-high, bring to a simmer, stirring until gravy is thickened.
• In a greased 9x13 (22x33 cm) glass baking dish, layer the biscuits, sausage, cheese, egg mixture, and gravy.
• Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 35-45 min, until the eggs on the bottom are cooked.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, cut the shortening into the Self-Rising Flour with a pastry blender or fork or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Blend in buttermilk with fork just until the dough comes together. The dough will be sticky.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently by folding the dough 8 to 10 times.
• Press into a circle that's 1 inch thick.
• Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough. Do not twist the cutter until the dough has been cut all the way through (twisting the cutter will cause the biscuits not to rise straight up.
• Place the biscuits on baking sheet so that they barely touch. Gather up the scrap dough, press it into a circle, working it as little as possible and continue cutting until all dough has been used.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• In a large heavy skillet (preferably cast iron), brown the sausage breaking it up with a spatula over medium high heat. Do not drain.
• Add the shortening, flour, salt and pepper.
• Cook stirring constantly until flour begins to brown.
• Slowly add milk while continuing to stir.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for one minute stirring occasionally. As the gravy cools it will thicken so if you want thinner gravy, add a little more milk.
• Cut the biscuits in half and pour the gravy over the biscuits.
• If you want just a plain milk gravy recipe, form the sausage into patties and brown. Remove them from the skillet to use to make sausage biscuits and continue the recipe the same way.
