Now, I know you folks think, B&G, the yank is mad as a box of frogs...
Our biscuits are a different animal to y'alls...light flakey goodness in a quick bread , lending themselves to toppings of butter , honey, jam , molasses( treacle) & country sausage gravy...a breakfast treat which is hearty, heartwarming, stick to your ribs good stuff. Here's the recipe - give it a go one of these cold winter mornings.
Biscuits:
2 cups all purpose flour
1-1/2 tablespoon baking powder + 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons lard
3/4 cup buttermilk
- mix dry ingredients thoroughly.
- " cut in " cold lard with fork or pastry cutter, just until blended(slightly crumbly) & loose.
Add buttermilk & stir w/ wooden spoon until mix is just combined.
Turn out dough on lightly floured surface. & flatten w/ rolling pin -fold in half , repeat - 6 times . Flatten dough to 1" thick.
Cut biscuits out w/ 2 - 2-1/2 cookie cutter & place biscuits( touching) in cake pan or cast iron skillet & bake @ 450 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown.
Gravy: Crumble up & brown 1/2 lb. of country sausage in a bit of bacon grease. Add 2 cups of milk , turn flame to low.
Mix 2 teaspoons corn starch in a bit of cold water - making a " slurry" & add ( mixing thoroughly) to milk / sausage mix. Season mixture to taste, with salt , black pepper, a pinch of garlic powder & ground sage.
Bring gravy mixture to a boil - stirring constantly, reduce heat and simmer a bit , stirring occasionally.
When biscuits are ready remove from oven. - split biscuits , top w/ a bit of butter & top w/ copious amount of country gravy.
Serve as a main course , or as an accompaniment to bacon & eggs.
Enjoy lads !!
Thank me later
