How to Make Mamaw's Good Ol Biscuits And Sausage Gravy
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- **Biscuits:** In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Cut in 1/2 cup cold shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup cold milk, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times.
- Pat dough to 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut out 8-10 biscuits.
- Place biscuits in a greased 10-inch cast iron skillet or pie plate.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- **Sausage Gravy:** While biscuits are baking, brown 1 lb sausage (removed from casings) in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Drain off excess grease, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons in the pan.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the sausage and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Add 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
- Serve the gravy generously over the warm biscuits. Add fried or scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast!
