Biscuits and gravy.

Jeanie's post got me thinking about one of my favorite breakfast foods

Baking Powder Biscuits
Ingredients: 2 cups all purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
4 tablespoons butter or shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup milk
In a large bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and mix well. Cut in shortening or butter using your hands until the flour looks like fine crumbs. Add milk, stirring until soft dough is formed. Turn out on slightly floured surface and lightly knead for 30 seconds, pat dough flat 1/2 inch thick and cut with 2 inch biscuit cutter or a skinny glass. Bake on ungreased sheet in a 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes.

Gravy.

Fry up your sausage and keep aside about three tablespoons of the drippings in the pan and stir in about 2 1/2 tablespoons of flour until well blended. Heat the skillet on medium and stir until flour mix begins to bubble slightly. Add two cups of milk and bring to a low boil until gravy is thick and smooth. Salt and pepper to taste.

Pour the hot gravy over warm biscuits split in half. They go great with scrambled eggs, sausage and juice.

This morning, I had the biscuits in the pan before the oven preheated and while bicuits were baking I had plenty of time to make the eggs and cream gravy. We had mimosas and hot coffee too. I need a nap.
