Apr 01, 2024 10:48AM ● By Vickie Britton

Ingredients 
1 stick of very cold butter
2 cups sifted self-rising flour
1 cup buttermilk

  • Get your butter as cold as you can. (I put mine in the freezer)
  • Grate your butter.
  • In a bowl, sift your flour and add your grated butter.
  • Add 1 cup of buttermilk.
  • Mix together but do not over-mix
  • Sprinkle some flour onto a surface and place the biscuits in the flour.
  • Gently mix with your hands. 
  • Press out the biscuit’s dough to an inch thick. 
  • Using a biscuit cutter, cut out your biscuits.
  • Place the biscuits in a well-buttered cast iron skillet.
  • Bake in a preheated 495-degree oven for 9 minutes (or until golden brown)

Sausage Gravy

Ingredients
1 pkg. Jimmy Dean Sausage
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
2 tablespoons dripping/oil

Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Use the dripping from the sausage (make sure there are at least 1 to 2 tablespoons of dripping. If not add some butter or oil to the drippings). Add your flour and stir with a wire whisk (I leave my sausage in the skillet). Cook over medium heat stirring until you reach a light brown color 6 to 8 minutes. Gradually stir in your milk, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. If gravy is too thick add some more milk.

Hope you enjoy your breakfast!
