Instructions
-
1Make 'cut' biscuit dough.
-
2Place the cut biscuits in the oven when you add the bacon grease to the skillet in the gravy procedure below (step 3).
-
3Remove from oven after 10 to 12 minutes; the biscuits should be warm when served with the gravy.
-
4Brown the sausage in a large skillet.
-
5Remove the browned sausage from the skillet and reserve in a bowl, being careful to leave as much of the drippings as possible in the pan.
-
6Add the bacon grease to the skillet, and place the skillet on low to medium-low heat.
-
7Once the bacon grease is up to temperature, mix the flour into the grease.
-
8Add the milk slowly, mixing as you pour.
-
9Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly scraping the bottom and edges of the skillet. Stirring keeps the gravy from becoming too lumpy or burnt.
-
10Continue stirring until the gravy has nearly reached the desired consistency, usually about 10 minutes.
-
11Add the browned sausage held in reserve.
-
12Remove from heat and allow to set for 1 minute.
-
13Serve with biscuits.
