MY MAMA'S CATHEAD BISCUITS WITH TOMATO-BACON GRAVY
Okay as promised. Here is my Mama's recipe for Cathead Biscuits and Tomato-Bacon Gravy. She would make these every morning for breakfast. Sometimes we would just eat the biscuits with a bowl of oatmeal. We didn't know we were poor as dirt when we were growing up. Mama always made it seem like we were rich with her delicious meals.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. 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. Stir in cheese and chives.
- Using a 1/2 cup measure, drop dough onto prepared pan, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush tops with egg, and sprinkle with remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
- FOR GRAVY: In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until bacon is crisp and onion is softened, approximately 10 minutes. Stir in flour; cook 1 minute. Add tomatoes, tomato juice, and milk, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Stir in salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
