Instructions
- gravy – in a large skillet, cook sausage until browned. do not drain. stir in flour and heat through. add milk until desired consistency is reached. add salt and pepper and let simmer 5-10 minutes, until thickened.
- biscuits – in a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. cube vegetable shortening and add to the flour mixture. cut in the shortening using a pastry cutter or two butter knives. add milk and stir just until mixed. if
dough is too dry, add a little more milk. roll dough on a floured surface to a 1/2″ thickness. using the top of a round glass or a biscuit cutter, cut and place biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet (i just use a little extra shortening to grease the baking sheet). bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes or until golden brown. enjoy them piping hot! makes 12 biscuits.
