Steps:
- Cook sausage or bacon reserving drippings. Add drippings to frying pan along with flour and mix well with spoon. Cook this until well blended and begins to boil in pan.
- Add milk all at once and cook until boils. Boil for about five minutes until reaches thickness desired. Watch closely because gravy will boil over on stove if you don't continue stirring. Add salt and pepper to taste. Can crumble sausage or bacon into gravy if desired.

Steps:
- 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 fork or use your hands 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 to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-inch cutter. Place the biscuits in a greased iron skillet. Gently press down top of biscuits. Brush the biscuits with half 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 milk gravy over the hot biscuits. GRAVY Heat bacon drippings in a cast iron skillet. Add the flour and whisk until smooth and bubbly about 1 minute. Add the warm milk slowly and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and stir, until thickened, about 5 minutes, adding milk as necessary to control the thickness. Season the gravy with salt and pepper. Serve hot over biscuits. NOTE: Add some crumbled fried sausage to the gravy for a real treat!
BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH SAUSAGE GRAVY
This version is a bit lighter than the traditional buttermilk biscuits, but no less tasty.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Using a pastry cutter or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Combine the buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and gently mix until just combined.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly using the heel of your hand to compress and push the dough away from you, and then fold it back over itself. Give the dough a small turn and repeat eight or so times. (It's not yeast bread; you want to just barely activate the gluten, not overwork it.) Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out 1/2 inch thick. Cut out rounds of dough with a 1 1/2-inch round cutter dipped in flour; press the cutter straight down without twisting so the biscuits will rise evenly when baked.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using a wooden spoon, break up the meat into small pieces. Cook until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour off any excess rendered fat. Add the onions and cook until clear and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and stir to combine and coat. Add the milk and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmer. Let cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool just slightly. Split and serve hot with the sausage gravy.
REAL, "DOWN HOME" SOUTHERN COUNTRY BISCUITS AND GRAVY:
Real, "down home" biscuits and gravy was originally "poor folks' breakfast," but it was so good and became so popular that no self-respecting Southern home today is complete without a good biscuit and gravy recipe. The gravy is still referred to by many as "sawmill gravy," because gravy and biscuits was a quick, cheap, and filling breakfast that was served in the logging and sawmill camps throughout the South. Real "down home" Southern biscuits and gravy became so popular and such a staple in Southern breakfast diets because it is nutritious, simple, easy, and inexpensive to make. The ingredients are simple and can be found in any kitchen. Sausage gravy, egg gravy, and all the variations begin with the basic "Sawmill" or "Milk" gravy recipe. The recipe given here is the basic sawmill gravy recipe that is still used by most Southerners. It is the recipe that my family has used for several generations. As for the biscuits, there are lots of complicated recipes for biscuits "out there", but the real, honest-to-goodness biscuits that are served up in most Southern homes are simple and easy to make. The baking time is the most time consuming part of making good biscuits. The biscuit recipe I give here has also been used by my family for several generations. When made as directed, the results will be light, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth biscuits that are delicious with the basic gravy recipe that I also give here, as well as with one's favorite jam, jelly, marmalade, molasses, or honey--or just split open with a little butter melted inside. To make sausage gravy or other variations, cook up the sausage first and use the fat from it to make the rue for the gravy. Break up the sausage into small pieces and set within easy reach before starting the gravy When the gravy has thickened, stir in the sausage or other ingredients that you may have in mind. Adding other ingredients is the last step in making variations of the basic "sawmill" or milk gravy recipe. In the biscuit recipe, Martha White self-rising flour is preferred. It is finer ground flour than almost any other flour on the market, has superb leavening, and yields lighter biscuits. If plain flour is used, add 1-1/4 tsp of double-acting baking powder and 1/4 tsp of salt per cup of flour. These pertain to all-purpose flour only and should be omitted when using self-rising flour. Also, the rule of thumb for eggs is to use 1 egg for every 2 cups of flour. When making biscuits and gravy, one thing should be remembered: Make the biscuits first, and make the gravy while the biscuits are baking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Baking time for biscuits is 20-30 minutes, depending on your oven. Some ovens run a little hot or cool, so baking time may vary slightly.

Steps:
- FOR THE BISCUITS:.
- Wash Hands.
- Sift flour into a medium or large mixing bowl. Shake the bowl side-to-side lightly to even out the flour.
- Beat the eggs slightly to blend yolks and whites.
- Combine oil and egg with half the buttermilk and pour into the flour. Mix thoroughly with a large spoon or fork, or use your hand to squeeze the dough through your fingers, until the dough is well blended.
- Add the remaining buttermilk, a little at a time, blending into the dough after each addition, until the right consistency is achieved.
- The dough should be just firm enough to form into balls but light enough to slump slightly when placed onto the baking sheet. Experience will enable you to tell from the feel of the dough. If dough is too light, add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing thoroughly each time, until the dough is the right consistency. If dough is too dense (stiff), add buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, blending well into the dough after each addition, until the dough is the right consistency.
- Clean the dough off your hands, then rinse and dry them. Flour the palms and fingers of both hands to prevent the dough from sticking to them.
- Pinch off a handful of dough roughly 2/3 the size you want your biscuits to be and roll it between your hands in a circular motion, using just enough pressure to form a ball. Shaping the dough will flour the outside of the biscuit.
- Place the ball of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet and press down with fingers just enough to flatten the dough slightly and form the biscuit shape. Repeat, flouring hands after each dough ball is formed and placing biscuits about 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch apart, until all the dough is used up.
- Cathead Biscuits.
- For cathead biscuits, use about half again as much dough for each biscuit as you would use for regular size biscuits, leaving them thicker than for regular biscuits. Place cat-head biscuits about 3/4-inch apart on the baking sheet.
- Place the pan of biscuits as close to the vertical center of the preheated 350-degree oven as your rack guides will allow and bake for 20-30 minutes. Check biscuits after 20 minutes and periodically thereafter until done. Biscuits will be done when the tops are golden brown. Cathead biscuits will take longer to bake. The lower edges of the biscuits may be slightly lighter than the center.
- Remove biscuits from oven when done. Serve hot.
- Makes 8 to 10 biscuits, or 4 to 5 cathead biscuits.
- FOR THE GRAVY.
- Mix evaporated milk and water and set aside within reach.
- In a large, cast iron skillet, combine oil (or meat fat), flour, salt, and pepper.
- Over medium-high heat, stir in flour until blended with oil. With a fork, tines flat against the skillet's bottom, stir the mixture constantly, using a back-and-forth motion, until it begins to brown very slightly. Do not allow the flour to scorch or burn.
- When flour has browned slightly, pour in milk, all at once, stirring constantly.
- Continue to stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet as you stir, in the manner previously described, to keep flour and milk from scorching and to keep lumps from forming. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- As soon as the mixture boils, marked by a sudden foaming up of the mixture, reduce heat to medium so that mixture simmers but does not boil over. Briefly lift pan from heat if necessary to keep contents from boiling over. Don't forget to use a pot holder to avoid being burned.
- Continue to stir vigorously, as described above, until gravy achieves desired thickness, usually within a minute or two after boiling. When the gravy is the desired thickness, immediately remove from heat. Serve from the skillet or pour into a serving bowl.
- Add additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serves 4.
BUTTERMILK GRAVY
This gravy is a diner classic, often served over biscuits and sausage. But it's equally good on fried chicken, pork chops, mashed potatoes, country fried steak, and french fries for a hearty meal any time of day.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS AND PEPPER GRAVY
Even though my mom came from "up north", she really could make great biscuits and gravy. It has taken me this long to get the so called "recipe" down. She never measured anything, and as such, I had to guess at how she made them. I think I finally figured it out. So here it is. I hope you enjoy it. Prep time includes 5 minutes sitting time if you have to make your own buttermilk. Posted on October 12th 2005.

- In a medium sized pot heat oil over medium-high heat, add flour and stir for 2 – 3 minutes, until it turns light golden brown. Add the garlic powder, poultry seasoning and nutmeg, mix well, add in the sausage and stir another minute or so. Mixture will form a ball of sorts. Slowly add the milk and continue to stir, bring just to a boil, reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until gravy has thickened to desired consistency, about 10 minutes. Use the back of the spoon/fork to help break up the sausage if needed. Gravy will thicken a bit more as it cools. Season with plenty of pepper and salt to taste. Set aside with lid on, or slightly askew stirring every now and then until ready to serve. If gravy cools too much, heat over low until warmed.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly flour a flat surface (use a cutting board, marble slab, etc). Leave a little extra flour on the side for your fingers and the biscuit cutter. Line a baking sheet with a silpat or lightly grease with oil.
- In a medium size mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, mix well to combine. Add the chilled butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry blender or the back of a fork. You’ll know it’s ready when the butter is about pea sized and the mixture is crumbly looking. Add in the milk and mix until just combined, making sure there are no flour patches. The dough should form into a rough ball, it should be tacky not sticky. If mixture is too wet & sticky, add a little extra flour and mix just a needed.
