How To Make biscuits and gravy

  • 1
    For the Country Sausage Gravy: Cook sausage, drain and set aside.
  • 2
    In a medium size saucepan melt the butter over medium heat and then add the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk, and crumble the bouillon cubes between your fingers into the sauce. Stir until thickened. Add sausage back to gravy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • 3
    Cut biscuits in half and pour gravy over the top.
  • 4
    FOR THE COUNTRY BISCUITS: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with a fork until mixture is crumbly. Slowly add ¾ cup buttermilk and mix just until it forms a ball. DO NOT OVERMIX! Add more buttermilk if necessary. (Depending on your elevation the amount of buttermilk may vary.)
  • 5
    Roll dough ½" thick on a floured board and use a biscuit cutter to make about 10 biscuits.

    Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown. When done, remove from oven and brush the tops of biscuits with melted butter.
