Biscuit Instructions
- Get your oven preheating to 450° F. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Chop up the shortening and butter into 1/4 inch cubes and add to the four mixture, use two forks to further break the shortening down until the mixture turns into crumbs.
- Add the milk to the mixture while stirring, keep stirring until it forms a soft/sticky dough.
- Put the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll it out, it will become less sticky as your roll it. Roll it into a 1/2 inch thick sheet and use your most trusted cookie cutter to cut out your biscuits. Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, bake for about 10 minutes, until biscuits are a golden brown.
Gravy Instructions
- In a pan or a skillet, break up the sausage into small pieces. On medium-high heat, cook the sausage until browned all the way through. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add half of the flour, let the sausage soak it up, then sprinkle the rest of the flour, little by little, and stir it for about a minute. Add the milk while stirring constantly.
- Continue to cook until the gravy thickens (It can take a while, like 10-ish minutes) Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Top Biscuits with the gravy and serve while hot!
