My mom and I made this meal for my dad. He really loved it, and I was impressed that the gravy turned out (Valerie baked the biscuits and left the gravy up to me). This is my first time entering a recipe, so if there are any flaws, let my mom know and she will give you the correct recipe. Sorry there's no picture, but I'm still figuring this out. I'll post one as soon as I can figure this out!
Biscuits Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces and chilled
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2 inch pieces and chilled
1 1/4 cups buttermilk (if you don't have buttermilk, whisk one tablespoon lemon juice into 1 1/4 cups of milk and let it stand until slightly thickened-about 10 minutes)
Biscuit Directions:
1- Adjust the oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, butter, and shortening in food processor until mixture resembles course meal. Transfer to large bowl.
2- On lightly floured surface, knead dough until smooth, 8 to 10 kneads. Pat dough into 9-inch circle, about 3/4 inch thick. Use a 3 inch biscuit cutter dipped in flour, cut out rounds of dough arrange on prepared baking sheet. Gather remaining dough, pat into a 3/4-inch-thick circle, and cut out remaining biscuits. (You should have 8 biscuits total.)
3- Bake until biscuits begin to rise, then rotate pan and reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees. Bake until golden brown (12 to 15 minutes) then transfer to wire rack and let cool.
Gravy Ingredients:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground fennel seed
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 1/2 teaspoons pepper
1 1/2 pounds bulk pork sausage
3 cups whole milk
Salt
Gravy Directions:
1- Combine flour, fennel, sage, and pepper in small bowl. Cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, breaking up meat with wooden spoon until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle flour mixture over sausage and cook, stiriing constantly, until flour has been absorbed, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in milk and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Serve gravy over biscuits.
Enjoy!
