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.

Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in snipped fresh thyme, if desired. Makes about 5 cups.

Steps:
- For the cornmeal biscuits: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over low heat.
- Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, thyme, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Pour in 5 tablespoons butter and the buttermilk and stir until just combined. Pour the remaining tablespoon butter into the hot skillet. Turn off the heat and use a teaspoon scoop or a couple of spoons to form the dough into tiny drop biscuits into the skillet-they will be touching. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
- For the dressing: Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the biscuits to a plate. Wipe out the skillet and return it to the stove over medium-high heat. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet, then add the sausage and break it up with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving any remaining fat in the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and let melt, then add the onion and celery to the skillet and cook until both have softened and started to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Return the sausage to the skillet and stir in the salt and pepper. Pour about 1 cup chicken broth into the skillet and scrape up any browned bits at the bottom. Add the mini biscuits and the saltines. Pour the remaining 2 1/2 to 3 cups broth into the skillet a little at a time, stirring to coat and distribute everything evenly; it should be moist, but not wet. Sprinkle the thyme leaves over the top and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the top is golden brown and the liquid has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot or at room temperature.

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!

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!

CORNMEAL SAGE BISQUICK BISCUITS
These are the perfect biscuits for biscuits and gravy (unlike most biscuits, these are toothsome and plain enough to stand up to lashings of salty, sausage-y gravy). I actually made them with the Heart Smart Bisquick. The recipe is slightly changed from bettycrocker.com.
