Number Of Ingredients 18

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cornmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions (1 green onion)
1 teaspoon finely snipped fresh sage or 1/4 teaspoon dried sage, crushed
3/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cups buttermilk (or sour milk or 1 cup milk)
1 recipe sausage gravy
chopped green onion (optional)
1 1/2 lbs bulk pork sausage
1 cup chopped onion (1 large)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
salt & fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons snipped fresh thyme (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a large bowl stir together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, cream of tartar, salt, the 2 tablespoons green onion, and the sage. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add buttermilk all at once. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing it just until dough holds together. Pat or lightly roll dough until 3/4 inch thick. Cut dough with a floured 2 1/2-inch round cutter; reroll scraps as necessary. Dip cutter into flour between cuts.
  • Place dough rounds 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden. Remove biscuits from baking sheet. Cool slightly.
  • To serve, split biscuits and place on serving plates. Top with Sausage Gravy. If desired, top with additional green onions.
  • SAUSAGE GRAVY:.
  • In a very large skillet cook bulk pork sausage and chopped onion over medium-high heat until meat is brown and onion is tender, using a wooden spoon to break up meat as it cooks. Do not drain.
  • Sprinkle all-purpose flour over meat mixture; stir into the meat mixture. Cook and stir over medium heat for 1 minute. While whisking, gradually add milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in snipped fresh thyme, if desired. Makes about 5 cups.
  • TO MAKE AHEAD:.
  • Prepare biscuits as directed; cool completely. Place biscuits in a resealable plastic freezer bag; seal, label, and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Prepare sausage gravy as directed. Place in an airtight container; seal and chill for up to 48 hours. To serve, thaw biscuits at room temperature (allow about 2 hours). If desired, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place biscuits on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. In a medium saucepan reheat sausage gravy over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through. If necessary, stir in additional milk to make desired consistency.

BISCUITS AND SAGE SAUSAGE GRAVY

WARNING:You will want to lick the plate clean after tasting these biscuits and gravy! It has been a family recipes for over 110 years. I find using the fatty sausage mild or hot from Jimmy Dean works great. He has a sage sausage but I never use it. It just doesn't taste as good. Enjoy!

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb sausage
3 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup flour
pepper
salt
2 tablespoons ground sage

Steps:

  • Fry sausage in large skillet. Crumble sausage as you go.
  • Add sage.
  • When sausage is completely cooked, add flour a little at a time soaking up the grease from the sausage. Stir it around. DO NOT DRAIN GREASE! Depending on how lean your sausage is you may need more or less flour. More will make it thicker. If the sausage is too lean, cut back on the milk.
  • Keeping burner on medium low heat, Add milk a little at a time. Constantly stirring.
  • Add cream. Your gravy should be thickening. If it is too thin, add some flour and small amount of milk in a cup. Stir and add slowly until desired gravy thickness is achieved.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. The more pepper you add, the more the flavor comes out and makes your gravy a little hotter.
  • Pour over fresh hot biscuits. Warning: They may lick the plate clean!
