Biscuits Two Ways

This recipe came across my Reader and I thought it would be perfect to go with the rolls for Thanksgiving. It was a lovely addition to the meal. We had quite a bit left over so I had to find something yummy to serve it on. I found the Buttermilk Biscuit recipe below, and I don't know if I will try any more. They are fabulous! I did feel it was a little wrong to eat only biscuits with honey butter so I made Sausage Gravy to go over some of the biscuits and to make it more of a meal.

Buttermilk Biscuits
from Cafe Zupas
Print Recipe

2 cups flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
6 Tbsp chilled butter
1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Add buttermilk, tossing with a fork until a dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly a few times just until smooth. Pat the dough to desired thickness, 1/2 inch to 1 inch. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out biscuits. Bake on a ungreased baking sheet for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Brush some melted butter over the tops to make them even more delicious!

Sausage Gravy
from Sparky
Print Recipe

1 lb pork sausage
2 Tbsp butter
3 heaping Tbsp flour
3-4 cups milk
salt, pepper, & season salt, to taste

Cook sausage until done, remove from pan, and set aside. Return pan to stove and melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir until butter and sausage grease are all combined. Add seasonings. Reduce heat to low, stir in milk starting with 1/2 cup. Stir in the milk until the clumps are gone, then add more milk until it reaches the desired consistency. Be patient! Clumps and lumps will work out, just be patient. If you add too much milk, simmer and let it reduce instead of trying to add more flour. Serve over biscuits.
