Biscuits and Gravy

Gravy -  Brown 1 pound sausage in a large skillet.  Add 1/3 cup flour 1/2 t garlic, 1/2 t salt and 1/4 t pepper and stir until dissolved. Allow this to cook and brown for 2-4 minutes over medium-high heat. Stir constantly to prevent burning.  Browning the flour keeps the gravy from tasting like you are eating raw flour.  Add 3 cups milk all at once.  Mix well to incorporate, then bring to a low simmer and allow it to thicken to the desired thickness (may add more milk if it gets too thick).

Serve over hot fresh baked biscuits.

Biscuits - **I doubled this for the group**

2 cups flour

4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp salt

2 Tbls sugar

1/2 cup butter

1 cup milk  (you may add 1 Tblsp lemon juice and let sit for 5 minutes)

Mix dry ingredients. Cut in the butter.  Stir in milk only until dry ingredients are moistened.  Roll out and cut into biscuits.  Bake at 425 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

For Cinnamon Biscuits - 

Before rolling out, sprinkle with cinnamon and fold over repeat 5-6 times.  Bake as directed and frost when they come out.
