Mamaw's Good Ol' Biscuits and Sausage Gravy image

Before moving to Florida, I had never even heard of "Biscuits & Sausage Gravy". This is a recipe of a dear friend's late grandmother, a true Southern lady. For some reason, the guys really go crazy for this dish. Add eggs, cooked your favorite way, and you have a real country-style breakfast. If you don't have time or feel like making the biscuits, Pillsbury's Grands Buttermilk Biscuits are very good.

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons shortening
3 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 lb seasoned bulk breakfast sausage (I like Jimmy Dean's)
1 -2 tablespoon sausage drippings
5 tablespoons sifted all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
1 -2 dash Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • DIRECTIONS FOR BISCUITS: Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Cut shortening into flour until small dough pieces form and all flour mixture is blended. Slowly stir in milk and blend thoroughly. Form into large ball. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead a few turns (do NOT overknead). Form 8 to 10 individual biscuits in cup of hands; place in a greased 10-inch pie plate. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
  • DIRECTIONS FOR SAUSAGE GRAVY: Brown broken-up sausage in a large skillet. Drain off excess grease, leaving 1 to 2 tablespoons. Sprinkle flour over sausage and stir until flour disappears. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly. Add a dash or 2 of Worcestershire sauce and ground pepper; simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve sausage gravy over biscuits.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used a plant-based sausage in the gravy. It was delicious!

I'm allergic to wheat, so I used a gluten-free flour blend to make the biscuits. They turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my biscuits turned out really dry. The gravy was good, though.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if there was more seasoning in the gravy.

This recipe was easy to follow and the biscuits and gravy turned out great! I especially liked the addition of the thyme to the gravy.

The sausage gravy was amazing! I used a spicy sausage and it gave the gravy a great kick. The biscuits were also very good, but I think I would have preferred them to be a little more flaky.
