Old-fashioned biscuit recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons lard or shortening
1 cup sour milk
PREPARATION:
Mix dry ingredients together; cut in lard or shortening. Slowly blend in milk, just until dry ingredients are moistened. Roll out on floured cloth or surface to about 1/2-inch thick. (Do not roll too thin.) Cut with biscuit cutter or glass tumbler. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake at 350° 10 minutes or until golden brown.


Sausage Gravy
1/2 cup to 1 cup sausage
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste
Cook sausage in a heavy skillet. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon; set aside for a later use.
Remove all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of grease from the skillet.
Over medium heat, stir 3 tablespoons of flour into the grease. Stir constantly until browned, about 5 minutes.
Stirring constantly, pour in 1 cup of regular milk. Season with salt and pepper.
Continue stirring until the gravy is thick.
If desired, add some or all of the sausage back into the gravy.
Serve over split biscuits, grits, or mashed potatoes, or pour into a bowl or gravy boat and serve on the side.
Tips:If you like a very thick gravy, start with about 3/4 cup of milk then add more if necessary.
