Steps:
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and brown sausage and mushrooms, breaking up sausage, about 6-8 minutes. Remove sausage and mushrooms with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the skillet. (you should have about 2 tablespoons of drippings in the skillet, discard any more than that. If you haven't got enough, supplement with a little added butter).
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add onion and saute for 1-2 minutes, until translucent. Sprinkle over flour and whisk constantly until mixture begins to turn golden brown.
- Combine half and half with milk and worcestershire sauce. Gradually whisk milk mixture into skillet; when the mixture has thickened and is just starting to bubble, return the sausage and mushrooms to skillet. Add garlic and season to taste with salt and pepper (adjust to suit your own taste, but remember you'll be adding the swiss cheese shortly). Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in swiss cheese, until cheese has melted into sauce. (if your gravy is too thick, thin by whisking in a little more half and half or milk).
- Meanwhile, bake refrigerated biscuits according to instructions.
- To serve: Place 2 biscuits per person on a plate. Smother with rich sausage gravy. Sprinkle generously with parsley. Dig in!
- Enjoy with family!

Steps:
- For the gravy: Cook the sausage in a medium skillet over medium heat, breaking up the sausage into small pieces and stirring occasionally until lightly browned, about 2 minutes Add the butter, flour, mustard powder, rosemary, pepper, and salt and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the milk and Worcestershire sauce, bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
- Divide the gravy among twelve 1-ounce cavities of an ice cube tray. Freeze the gravy until solid, 2 to 3 hours. (For an alt method, line a 9-by-3-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap and make a "dam" using aluminum foil to block off half of the pan. Pour the gravy into the open space. Freeze until solid, then lift out the frozen gravy and cut into twelve 1-inch cubes).
- For the biscuits: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat it to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is in pea-size pieces. Add the 1 1/4 cups buttermilk and pulse several times until the dough just comes together but is not fully incorporated. Place the dough on to a clean work surface and gather it together into a rough ball. Pat the dough into an 8-inch square and divide into 12 equal portions.
- Unmold the gravy cubes from the ice cube tray. Working with 1 portion of dough at a time, pat into about a 3-inch disk in your hand. Place 1 of the gravy cubes in the center and wrap the dough around it until fully encased. Shape the biscuit into about a 2 1/2-inch-wide puck and place it on one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough and gravy cubes.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with the remaining 2 tablespoons buttermilk and sprinkle with some finely ground black pepper.
- Bake on the upper and lower oven racks for 16 to 20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets and swapping the positions on the racks halfway through, until the biscuits are lightly golden brown. Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Fry sausage in skillet cutting apart as you cook to make small pieces.
- Drain and reserve 1/3 c of grease.
- Remove sausage from skillet.
- Return the 1/3 c of grease to it.
- Whisk in the self rising flour until brown.
- Return the sausage and all other ingredients Heat until thick.
- Serve over biscuits.
Tips:
- For successful biscuits, use cold butter and buttermilk. The cold butter will create pockets of steam in the biscuits as they bake, resulting in a light and fluffy texture. Buttermilk adds tanginess and helps to tenderize the biscuits.
- Do not overmix the biscuit dough. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, making the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- When rolling out the biscuit dough, do not roll it too thin. The biscuits should be about 1/2-inch thick before cutting. Rolling the dough too thin will make the biscuits dry and crumbly.
- Bake the biscuits in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the biscuits to rise quickly and evenly. Biscuits should be baked at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- For the sausage gravy, use a good quality sausage. A spicy sausage will add more flavor to the gravy. Jimmy Dean is a great brand made for sausage gravy.
- Cook the sausage over medium heat until it is cooked through. Do not overcook the sausage, as this will make it dry and crumbly.
- Add the flour to the sausage and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the flour is browned. This will help to thicken the gravy.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and cream until the gravy reaches the desired consistency. Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened.
- Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.
- Serve the biscuits and sausage gravy immediately. The biscuits are best when they are hot and fluffy, and the gravy is best when it is warm and creamy.

Biscuits and rich sausage gravy is a classic Southern breakfast dish that is enjoyed by people of all ages. The biscuits are light and fluffy, and the sausage gravy is rich and flavorful.
