rec.food.recipes archive

Yeast Biscuits 
 
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 package yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 cup milk 
 
Mix dry ingredients, cut in shortening.  Meanwhile, soften yeast
in warm water.  Add milk and softened yeast mixture to dry ingredients
and shortening mixture.  Mix well (dough tends to be really sticky).
Dump onto well floured board, roll 1/2 -3/4 inch thick and cut into
biscuits and place on cookie sheet.  Allow to rise for 45 minutes
before baking at 450 F for 8-12 minutes.
 
Cream Gravy 
 
pork sausage (spiced) 
2 tbsp butter or sausage grease 
1/4 cup flour 
garlic
salt 
pepper 
2 cups milk
 
Cook sausage and drain.  Then, either retain a portion of the 
drippings or melt the butter and add the flour.  Let simmer a while
and then add the milk.  Let heat until starch gelatinization occurs
(gets thick).  Season to your liking --the more pepper, salt and
garlic, the better.  Be careful not to scorch the gravy.  Add  
sausage to gravy after thickened to your desired consistency.  If  
it doesn't get thick enough, add some more flour (dispersed in milk
or water).
