RACHEL'S FAMOUS HOMEMADE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Place the flour and shortening in a large bowl.
• Using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your fingers, mix the flour and shortening into pea-sized morsels.
• Add the milk to the flour and shortening mixture and combine, using a fork. Mix a minimum number of strokes, or for for about 15 seconds.
• Place the dough onto a hard surface sprinkled liberally with flour.
• Using floured hands, knead the dough a few times. Do not over-knead.
• Sprinkle the dough with flour and, using a rolling pin, roll it out to the desired thickness, thin for crispy biscuits and thick for more doughy biscuits.
• Use a cookie cutter cut out the biscuits and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart. Keep the cookie cutter well-coated with flour to prevent sticking.
• Remaining dough can be used to make stickies (Recipe #.).
• Bake at 450* for 12 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.

BEST BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

• Roll into a 6" x 6" square.

HUSBAND'S FAVORITE SAUSAGE BISCUITS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• 1. Using a large frying pan, coat bottom with a scant 1/4" Olive oil. Heat oil and add a thin 2" to 2 1/2" Sausage pattie (per person) to the pan. Fry one side of the patty till it is no longer pink, turn it over, and while the other side is browning, cut the sausage pattie into small tidbits. (Photo)
• 2. After the sausage is sufficiently browned, sprinkle white flour over the sausage crumbles and stir around in the pan until a paste like substance is made, and all of the pan's grease(there won't be much), is absorbed. Add milk to the pan (3/4 C per person - approx.), and bring the temperature up to a slow rolling boil, be sure to watch very closley at this point so that the gravy doesn't scorch. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste, while stirring the gravy until it thickens to the desired consistancy, taking care to cook the flour/milk combo for several minutes to get rid of that floury taste! (If gravy is too thin, sprinkle and mix in a little more flour, if too thick, slowly add more milk.)
• 3. Remove from heat and serve sausage gravy over warm biscuits that have been cut in half.(Photo) You can use your favorite biscuit recipe, or buy frozen or bakery biscuits. If you are lucky enough to live in the South, you can most likely find Southern Biscuit Mix in your local grocery stores...it's the very best for sure! ENJOY!
