Quick and Easy Biscuit Recipe

I have several great biscuit recipes. In a pinch, the Bisquick Biscuit recipe works. I just follow the directions on the box for the drop biscuits. I sprinkle Bisquick mix on the counter and over my dough to roll it out to 1/2 inch in thickness. You make them thicker. It is all a personal preference.

Biscuit Dough

Biscuit cutters come in handy. The large one works great for cutting out each biscuit.

After cutting the biscuits, place them on parchment paper. Bake according to the directions on the box.

This sausage gravy recipe is a family heirloom passed down from my grandmother Baxter. While I’ve added my own twist to the classic recipe, the heart of the dish remains the same.

Directions:

While the sausage is cooking, it is good to break it into smaller pieces. Next, add two tablespoons of all-purpose flour and mix. You will be browning the flour with the sausage.

Add 2 cups of milk and bring the mixture to a slow boil. You need to stir constantly!

I like to sprinkle approximately 1/4 teaspoon of Smoked Paprika and add salt to personal taste. In the third photo, you can see that the gravy on the slow boil has started to thicken. It’s ready! It will thicken up after you remove it from the heat and let it sit for a minute.

  1. Yum!!! That’s exactly how I make my gravy!!! I think I’ll make that this morning. Our daughter heads back to college today and that would be delicious to have a warm meal as she loads her car in these frigid temperatures.

    1. I had not made it in a while. My hubby does not like any kind of gravy. When the boys made the request, I was all happy to cook it for them. It was always one of my favorites besides waffles.
