MY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS WITH MILK GRAVY
When I first got married I wanted to find a good recipe for Buttermilk Biscuits. I knew how to make my Mom's Cat Head biscuits but wanted something different. I found this recipe in an old mountain recipe book up in Missouri and adapted it to fit my family. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, use a small juice glass (about 2 1/2" round) dipped in flour.

Steps:
- FOR BISCUITS: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a fork or pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Add buttermilk, stirring until combined and dough pulls away from sides of bowl.
- Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface. Shape into a flat log, and fold into thirds. Roll into a 10x9" rectangle, approximately 1/2" thick. Using a 2 1/2" round cutter dipped in flour, cut dough, without twisting cutter. Re-roll scraps as needed.
- Place biscuits on pan, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush tops with egg. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
- FOR GRAVY: In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring until browned and crumbly, approximately 10 minutes. Sprinkle flour over sausage, stirring to coat. Slowly whisk in milk. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly until thickened, approximately 10 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Makes about 3 cups.
BUTTERMILK GRAVY
This gravy is a diner classic, often served over biscuits and sausage. But it's equally good on fried chicken, pork chops, mashed potatoes, country fried steak, and french fries for a hearty meal any time of day.

BUTTERMILK BISCUITS AND PEPPER GRAVY
Even though my mom came from "up north", she really could make great biscuits and gravy. It has taken me this long to get the so called "recipe" down. She never measured anything, and as such, I had to guess at how she made them. I think I finally figured it out. So here it is. I hope you enjoy it. Prep time includes 5 minutes sitting time if you have to make your own buttermilk. Posted on October 12th 2005.
