List of Ingredients




1/2 pound bulk pork breakfast sausage
2 tablespoons chopped yellow onions
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups hot milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 batch Southern Biscuits

Recipe



Heat frying pan and fry the sausage and onion until the sausage is brown and the onion clear. Drain off all grease except for 2 tablespoons. Stir in the flour and cook for just a minute. Add the hot milk. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and then season with salt and pepper.

Serve over warm opened biscuits.

Southern Biscuits

1 cup plus tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons Crisco
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon Crisco® (for frying pan)

Mix dry ingredients together. Blend in the Crisco® until the mixture is coarse and grainy. Stir in the buttermilk with a fork. Do not over-mix. Put out on a floured board and knead just a few times. Pat out the dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut with a biscuit cutter or glass. Flour the cutter. Do not handle the dough too much or it will get tough.

Using a heavy cast iron frying pan, place 1 tablespoon of Crisco in the pan and put the frying pan in the oven for about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and place the biscuits in the pan. Turn each once in the oil and bake the biscuits at 500 degrees F for 10 minutes, or until light brown.
