Mamaw'S Good Ol' Biscuits And Sausage Gravy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Biscuits
4 tablespoons shortening
3 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups milk
Sausage Gravy
1 lb seasoned bulk breakfast sausage (I like Jimmy Dean's)
1 -2 tablespoon sausage drippings
5 tablespoons sifted all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
1 -2 dash Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Preparation

DIRECTIONS FOR BISCUITS: Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Cut shortening into flour until small dough pieces form and all flour mixture is blended. Slowly stir in milk and blend thoroughly. Form into large ball. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead a few turns (do NOT overknead). Form 8 to 10 individual biscuits in cup of hands; place in a greased 10-inch pie plate. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
DIRECTIONS FOR SAUSAGE GRAVY: Brown broken-up sausage in a large skillet. Drain off excess grease, leaving 1 to 2 tablespoons. Sprinkle flour over sausage and stir until flour disappears. Slowly add milk, stirring constantly. Add a dash or 2 of Worcestershire sauce and ground pepper; simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve sausage gravy over biscuits.
