Ingredients
COUNTRY BISCUITS :
- 3 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 T. granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 c. vegetable shortening
- 1 c. buttermilk
- 1/4 c. unsalted butter melted
SAUSAGE GRAVY :
- 1 lb. Jimmy Dean Sausage Roll
- 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 c. warm milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- COUNTRY BISCUITS: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or fork until it looks like cornmeal. Add the milk, a little at a time, stirring constantly until well mixed.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly two or three times. Roll out the dough with a floured rolling pin into a 12-inch round. Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits in a greased iron skillet or baking sheet. Gently press down the top of the biscuits. Brush the biscuits with half of the melted butter.
- Bake for 14 minutes or until golden brown. Brush the hot biscuits with the remaining butter. Split the biscuits in half and ladle sausage gravy over the top or simply serve with your favorite preserves.
- SAUSAGE GRAVY: Crumble and cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned. Stir in flour until dissolved. Gradually add warm milk. Cook gravy until thick and bubbly, adding more milk as necessary to control the thickness, and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot over biscuits.
