Biscuits and Gravy

{source}

We're not really the 'biscuits and gravy type,' but we thought we'd be adventurous and just go for it.  We were both surprised at how delicious these turned out!  We should have known, though, because we are both suckers for Brinner {breakfast for dinner...}.  We served it up with hash brown potatoes.  It would be great with scrambled eggs, too.

{What you need}

Biscuits:

2 cups flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk

2 teaspoons melted butter

{or just go for the Pillsbury on a busy night...}

Gravy:

1 pound sausage {or turkey sausage}

2 Tablespoons butter

6 Tablespoons flour

3.5 cups milk

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt.  Combine milk and butter and incorporate into dry ingredients just until blended.  Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, brown the sausage in a medium saucepan over medium heat, until there is no pink left.  Add the butter and stir until melted.  Sprinkle the flour over the sausage mixture and gradually add the milk, salt, and pepper.  Stir over medium heat until it thickens to desired consistency.  Serve over warm biscuits.
