Biscuits and Gravy



Dal loves biscuits and gravy. This is one of those recipes where you'll most likely have the ingredients already. The biscuits are flaky and the gravy is yummy. It's so easy too!

Gravy
This is my Grandma Johnson's white sauce recipe;
I use it TONS for various things!

1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup butter
2 cups of milk
chicken bouillon to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Stir flour, butter and milk constantly on high until thick. Add seasonings to taste.

Brown1 pound sausage and add to gravy.



Baking Powder Biscuits
This is my sister in law's-Amie's-recipe

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup milk
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup shortening

Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening with fork until mixture resembles course corn meal. Add milk and blend lightly with fork only until flour in moistened and dough pulls away from sides of the bowl. Turn out on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly for thirty seconds and roll 3/4 inch thick. Cut dough with biscuit cutter dipping cutter into flour between cuts. Place on lightly greased pan and brush tops of biscuits with butter. Bake at 450 degrees for about 12 minutes.

Notes: If using baking powder biscuits without gravy, try adding more salt.
