Recipe Introduction
On weekends or holidays, the pace is slower. Once a year, for our Christmas gathering, we have the whole family over for a big breakfast and a whole-day get-together. So good to have the family together. At such a time, the kitchen is filled with the aroma of homemade cinnamon rolls lifting from the oven or of cooked apples on the range. Homemade biscuits are another favorite around here.
For the homemade biscuits, some make the sausage gravy to top the hot biscuits, but I usually make the gravy with milk, adding a milk thickening with flour to it. When cooked, I season it with salt and pepper to taste, also add a small amount of butter or margarine to it. The breakfast biscuits are easy to mix and bake.
We usually do the milk gravy and biscuits when the adult children come home for a morning meal. I am not too fond of biscuits and gravy, but my children enjoy it. I usually prepare fried eggs and potatoes with it for the family members who enjoy something else to eat with their biscuits.
