Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

To avoid tough biscuits, keep everything COLD as possible until it goes in the oven.

I kept a covered bowl ready in the fridge at all times for biscuits. It contained

2 c. flour

1 TB baking powder

1 tea salt.

1/4 C. cold butter, cut in (to consistency of small peas)

================

When ready for biscuits, stir in most of

1/4 C. milk curdled with a bit of vinegar.

Quickly now, stir, knead just to mix, roll out to 1/2-inch thick, cut rounds with a drinking glass, bake 10-12 minutes in 450-degree oven.

Sausage Gravy

Fry 1 lb breakfast sausage. Stir/mash in in a couple tablespoons flour. Cook a few moments. Gradually add milk or water, stirring, cooking as you go until consistency is reached. Simmer until flour is cooked. Add salt and pepper if desired.

Split a biscuit and butter it. Heap with gravy. Top with an over-easy egg. Garnish with an orange twist.
