Country Biscuits with Sausage Gravy
Ingredients:
Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 dash salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
Country Sausage Gravy:
12 oz. sausage
3 Tablespoons butter
¼ cup flour
3 cups milk
2 chicken bullion cubes
½ teaspoon salt
ground pepper to taste
Directions:
For the Biscuits:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix in the buttermilk. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet, roll into a 6x6 inch square, and cut into 12 even sections. Do not separate.
Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until a knife inserted in the center of the square comes out clean. Separate into biscuits
For the Gravy:
Cook sausage, drain and set aside.
In a medium size saucepan melt the butter over medium heat and then add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk, and crumble the bullion cubes between your fingers into the sauce. Stir until thickened. Add sausage back to gravy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cut biscuits in half and pour gravy over the top.
