Southern Homemade Bisquits And Gravy Recipes

SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK BISCUITS AND GRAVY RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large bowl until dry ingredients are well distributed.
• Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk; stir until the dry ingredients are just moistened.
• Turn dough onto a floured work surface, gather dough together with your hands into a rough rectangle. Fold the rectangle in thirds like a business letter. Turn 90°, gather any crumbs, and pat down into a rectangle. Fold twice more and pat down in between. This helps form the flaky layers.
• Roll dough on a floured surface to about 5/8 inch thick. Cut biscuits into 3-inch rounds, Try to cut them close together, because any biscuits you make from the gathered dough scraps won't rise as high.
• Transfer biscuits to the parchment lined baking sheet. Make a slight indent in the top of each biscuit with your thumb. Brush the tops of biscuits with the additional buttermilk. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 12-15 minutes.

• 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.

Stir 1/4 cup butter into sausage until butter has melted and mix in 1/4 cup flour until thoroughly combined.

SOUTHERN BISCUITS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Combine the dry ingredients. Knead in the butter.
• Add buttermilk and knead on a floured surface. Make sure you only knead it just enough to get the dough together. Do it gently so the flour doesn't develop gluten which will cause your biscuits to be tough.
• Flatten the dough with the ball of your
• fist. Use a glass to cut out your bisquits. Don't make them too tall or the outside may get crusty while the inside is still too doughy.
• Cook them in a 350 degree oven on a greased cookie sheet and then get started on the gravy straight off.
• Fry up the sausage until it's thoroughly cooked. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon.
• Don't drain the grease. You'll need it to make the roux. You should have about 2 tablespoons of rendered fat. Add the butter and melt it. Then add the flour a little at a time over medium heat, constantly whisking.
• Cook for about 2-3 minutes. Now start adding the cold milk a little at a time, whisking incessantly.
• Toward the end of the milk add the sausage back inches When it's nice and thickened up add salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut the biscuits in half, pour the gravy over them, and enjoy! We're talking breakfast heaven here!

SOUTHERN HOMEMADE BISQUITS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, cut the shortening into the Self-Rising Flour with a pastry blender or fork or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Blend in buttermilk with fork just until the dough comes together. The dough will be sticky.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently by folding the dough 8 to 10 times.
• Press into a circle that's 1 inch thick.
• Cut out biscuits with a 2-inch cutter, being sure to push straight down through the dough. Do not twist the cutter until the dough has been cut all the way through (twisting the cutter will cause the biscuits not to rise straight up.
• Place the biscuits on baking sheet so that they barely touch. Gather up the scrap dough, press it into a circle, working it as little as possible and continue cutting until all dough has been used.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• In a large heavy skillet (preferably cast iron), brown the sausage breaking it up with a spatula over medium high heat. Do not drain.
• Add the shortening, flour, salt and pepper.
• Cook stirring constantly until flour begins to brown.
• Slowly add milk while continuing to stir.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for one minute stirring occasionally. As the gravy cools it will thicken so if you want thinner gravy, add a little more milk.
• Cut the biscuits in half and pour the gravy over the biscuits.
• If you want just a plain milk gravy recipe, form the sausage into patties and brown. Remove them from the skillet to use to make sausage biscuits and continue the recipe the same way.
• I hope you enjoy this southern biscuits and gravy recipe!
