SCALLION BISCUITS WITH SAUSAGE AND GRAVY

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine all dry ingredients in the bowl of a mixer. On medium speed add heavy cream and scallions, mix just until it pulls together, not wet. On a lightly floured work surface roll out 1/4-inch thick. Cut 3-inch rounds and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper, bake for 8 minutes. Cool. Yield: about 24 biscuits
• For the gravy: In a saute pan over medium heat cook the sausage in the peanut oil. Remove from pan when thoroughly cooked. In sausage drippings saute onions until translucent and tender sprinkle with the flour and stir with wooden spoon for 2 to 3 minutes. Add water and stir to combine and eliminate any lumps. Bring to a boil. Add salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to taste. Reduce to a simmer until desired flavor develops.
• To assemble: Slice biscuits in half lengthwise. Layer sausage on bottom slice, spoon gravy over top of sausage and place lid on. Serve with your favorite eggs.

WHOLEGRAIN MUSTARD AND GINGER COCKTAIL SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, whisk together the ginger conserve, mustard, garlic flavored oil and soy sauce.
• Turn the sausages in the mustardy mix and then arrange them on either a large, shallow-sided tin or 2 smaller tins. The height of the tin's sides will determine how quickly the sausages color and cook.
• If you are using high-sided tins, they will need about 45 minutes in the oven; cooked on a shallower tray, 30 minutes should be fine. And do line with foil or use throwaway foil trays, or washing-up will be a nightmare. To serve the sausages in their bread bowl, cut a circle around the top of the bread to take off a "lid". Put this lid on one side for a moment, and tear and pull out the doughy filling with your hands, leaving the crust intact so that you have a hollow bowl.
• Fill this emptied-out loaf with as many sausages as you can - you may have to top up with a few as you go - and then you can balance the lid at a jaunty angle for maximum effect and your guests' amusement. Serve with a small pot of cocktail sticks to spear the
• sausages, but if you're skipping the bread bowl option, let the hot sausages cool slightly before handing them out.
• Make ahead note:
• Put coating mixture in a resealable bag, add sausages and refrigerate for up to 2 days - put bag in bowl or on plate in case of leakage. Cook as directed in recipe.
• Freeze note:
• The sausages can be frozen in bag with coating for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in fridge - put bag in bowl or on plate in case of leakage. Cook as directed in recipe.

CREAMY BISCUITS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a bowl; cut shortening into flour mixture with a pastry cutter until mixture is crumbly. Mix in egg and milk until incorporated. Turn dough out onto a well-floured work surface and knead for 1 minute.
• Roll dough out to a thickness of 3/4 to 1-inch thick, cut with a biscuit cutter, and place biscuits onto prepared baking sheet. Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cook and stir sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir 1/4 cup butter into sausage until butter has melted and mix in 1/4 cup flour until thoroughly combined. Pour evaporated milk and water into sausage mixture, bring gravy to a simmer, and reduce heat to low; simmer gravy until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Serve biscuits with sausage gravy.
