302. Hi Y'all! While vacationing in the South, we enjoyed several Southern comfort foods. BBQ Ribs, Southern Fried Chicken and of course Biscuits. I found a wonderful biscuit flour mix that we fell in love with.
You just add milk and work the dough as usual following the directions. They were beautiful! And delicious!
Many years ago a dear sweet southern lady taught me the basics of a good sausage gravy. I have not forgotten. So in Katie Rudisill's honor, Sausage Gravy was on our breakfast menu.
SAUSAGE GRAVY
2 lbs original pork sausage, Jimmy Dean or Bob Evans (The better the brand the less fat content)
2 - 3 Tablespoons flour
Salt & Pepper to taste
2 - 3 cups whole milk, start with 2 and add more to stretch the recipe or make it thinner
Optional: Original Tabasco sauce couple splashes
Sauté the sausage in a large deep skillet till brown. Drain the sausage and place in a bowl. Set aside. In the frying pan of reserved fat drippings heat till sizzling. Add the flour one tablespoon at a time and whisk the flour to avoid lumps forming. Continue to simmer till flour begins to lightly brown and bits on the bottom of pan are loosened. Slowly add the milk and continue to whisk.
Stir together. Test for seasoning and continue to cook for 5 more minutes or till gravy has come to just about a boil. Place in a serving bowl or tureen.
Serve with fresh hot biscuits.
Break open a hot biscuit. Place open sides up on your plate and pour the sausage gravy over the biscuit. Now that is good eatin'!

" There's nothin' worse than sausage gravy that is white as a sheet and you can barely find a trace of meat, or was that a lump o' flour?"
