I love biscuits! I think I could eat biscuits everyday! With butter and jam, with gravy, oh yeah with gravy and sausage…My favorite supper is Biscuits with sausage and gravy!!
Southern Style Biscuits and Gravy
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup of cold buttermilk
1/4 cup melted butter
Directions:
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:
1/4 cup bacon drippings
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk, warm
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoons pepper (or more if you like)
2 tablespoons melted butter
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!

one of my favorite meals! i commented on the facebook post that i use the sausage drippings instead of bacon drippings. i forgot to mention that you can also put the flour, milk, and seasonings in a mason jar or other container with a lid and shake until combined, then slowly whisk into the drippings. works great!
