Biscuits and Gravy? I'm your huckleberry.... :-)

[WapitiTalk1]

Epic biscuits and gravy, I think you’ll like this.  Track down some Pioneer Country Sausage Flavored Gravy Mix (Amazon, Walmart carries this) – makes 2 cups per packet. Fry up a full container of James Dean regular snausage in a skillet, drain the grease… put the chopped-up bits (chop em up as you fry it) in the Pioneer Gravy once you’ve prepared that.   Now for the biscuits, do not use store bought biscuits in a can you wild bohemians…. Do em up like this.  Stage a 10” cast iron skillet in your cooking area, I know you have one of those.  Put ˝ stick of butter in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.  Put 2 cups of self-rising flour in a medium mixing bowl.  Put ˝ stick of butter on the stove in a small pan to melt on low heat.  Grate the previously frozen, grated butter into the flour… mix with a big old fork until blended.  You should have your oven preheated to 425 at this time.  Mix one cup of buttermilk into your flour/butter batter… use your hands inside of food quality gloves of course, to mix, roll, fold all the ingredients together.  Form/put around 8 2+” drops of dough into the greased skillet (I use olive oil), drizzle that melted butter on the biscuit blobs and throw em in the oven for 17 minutes.  Please try this and let me know what you think  (grin).  A suitable side for this is a well-executed shroom, cheese, diced red onion, mixed peppers, and tomato omelet but that’s for another story. I hope you enjoy

Don't forget the Cholula Hot Sauce for the top.

Ive just never understood having a tasty meal in front of me, then smothering it with hot sauce. Why worry about the good flavor of something if your going to overwhelm it with a sauce that is going to keep you from tasting it?
 Its funny, I see people I know put hot sauce on most of what they eat. I like a little hot sauce, but just for very specific foods, and in moderation.

I don't think of it as covering up flavor as much as adding to it.

Cant believe you started a post about 'Epic' biscuits and gravy, then proceeded to use a packet for your gravy. 

My wife makes swimming butter biscuits and from scratch pepper sausage gravy.  It is the BEST around

Maybe it's an Army thing? Ever had powdered eggs and grease strips (canned bacon) served from a Mermite Can in the back of a jeep and stale white bread. Or cold C-Rats on a field trip? Old habits tend to stay with you.

We've used this flakey buttermilk biscuit recipe https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/bas-best-buttermilk-biscuits I found in a magazine several years ago and haven't strayed away since. You kneed layers of dough on top of each other over and over to form almost a pull away flakey dough. And a super simple sawmill gravy - maybe some all-purpose seasoning we might have on hand and a dash of red pepper flakes https://altonbrown.com/recipes/sawmill-gravy/

Couple dashes of Tobasco

My Dad was on a quest for the best biscuits and gravy recipe in his last decade or so. Mind you, this is a guy who liked his eggs scrambled hard and his steak well done. He finally found the perfect "recipe": Libby's canned sausage gravy and Pillsbury biscuits.

Cook 1lb sausage until almost done. Add a couple tablespoons of flour and 1/2 tablespoon of black pepper. Cook until the flour and fat form a roux, then add milk.  Mix well until thickened. Throw in salt, garlic powder, hot sauce, etc. to taste. I like adding red pepper for spice, sage if im feeling fancy.

I cant bake, but my wife makes some epic biscuits. Im pretty sure its close to wapititalk1's recipe.

I'll second the packet "pioneer" gravy. so easy and VERY good.  My mother was an incredible cook, and I like pioneer gravy better than hers.

As for biscuits, homemade are best, BUT, Grands frozen (not the tube ones) are a very close second. Most people who eat mine think they were homemade.

Red Lobster biscuit mix with grated cheese inside and garlic/herb butter brushed on top is our favorite.

Great I was going to have a bowl of cereal then I read this.  It ALL sounds terrific. I would eat it all.  The only kinda odd SOS i ever had was eating out of kitchen in Honduras It was normal SOS with pieces of green pepper added and of course I still ate it.

I like places that have it. There is a drive through coffee shop that was serving it here in Lacey. That Tucannon valley gas pumps. And, oddley a Toyota dealership in Tumwater. Get your coffee and your SOS.

This is making me hungry. I keep envisioning a half biscuit hitting the plate, then a fried egg on top, and then a massive dollop of gravy plopped down over all of it. Repeat two more times and I'd have my feast. Thanks for sharing!
