This is a wonderful sausage gravy and biscuit recipe my cousin serves for breakfast on special occasions. Ingredients:
1 pound sage flavored ground breakfast sausage |
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
1 cup milk |
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 dash worcestershire sauce |
1 dash hot pepper sauce |
2 packages active dry yeast |
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees f/45 degrees c) |
2 cups warm buttermilk (105 to 115 degrees f/43 to 46 degrees c) |
5 cups all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup white sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 tablespoon salt |
1 cup shortening |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. To make the gravy: Crumble sausage in skillet and cook over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook until tender; drain. Stir in flour, a little at a time, for about 6 minutes or until bubbly and golden. Stir in milk, nutmeg, poultry seasoning, salt, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and cook until thick.
3. To make biscuits: Dissolve yeast in warm water; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in buttermilk and set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. Cut in shortening with pastry blender until looks like coarse meal. Stir in yeast-buttermilk mix and mix well. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead gently 3 to 4 times. Roll out flat to 1/2 inch and cut with 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place on lightly greased baking sheet and cover. Let rise in warm place 1 1/2 hrs.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until golden. Remove from oven and brush tops with melted butter.
