I sure like the color of that gravy. Snow white gravy ain't for me.

Thanks Speck, I haven't made it in a few months, but after lookin at that I think its in store for this Sun. Sure looks good.

Hey Spec,
I had never had the nerve to try making scratch biscuits until some of us were on a weekend trip to Clark Hill Lake on the SC/Ga border. One of my friends, Harry, asked me if I wanted some biscuits with the breakfast we were cooking. I said of course, thinking he had some wop or frozen biscuits. He proceeded to make the ones listed below and I watched and decided I could do that. They are easy to make, but it takes a couple of trials to know when the dough is ready to roll out and be cut. His Grandmother used this recipe when he was a child and he is 80 now so you can guess how long it has been around. I thought you had to use lard or shortening to make this kind of biscuit, but trust me, these will get rave reviews, especially with your sausage gravy.
Enjoy,
SeaRay

Harry’s Grandma’s Biscuits

1 Stick Oleo(margarine)
2 cups self-rising flour
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup milk
Cut Oleo into Flour(small pieces shaved off and blended into flour)
Add other ingredients and knead*
Roll out dough and cut into biscuits**
Bake at 450 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes
Watch for browning on tops and remove when done

*Knead only until dough can be formed and rolled out. Too much can make biscuits tough
**Harry used a tea glass with a little flour on the rim to cut the biscuits to size

Note: I have used butter instead of margarine, but honestly, no one could tell the difference.

That is pretty much the recipe I have been using, just a little more milk and 2 tea spoons of sugar and a pinch of salt. Gets easier and very quick, had em for supper tonight.:biggrin

Rees,
I asked Harry why his GM used half buttermilk and half milk and he thinks it was from her coming up through the depression when money was scarce. I guess you could use all buttermilk, but this worked so well I never changed it. My mother, who grew up on a farm, used lard for her biscuits, which is why I never thought to try it until I saw these made.
