I got hungry today about lunch tie and decided that I didn't want to get out, had no reason to drive to the store, and started looking around for something to cook for lunch. I found a pound of link sausage in the freezer, so I cut it up fine and started frying it in a cast iron skillet. I decided to make a white gravy with the drippings, ad found some milk that was approaching the end of it's life in the 'fridge. Perfect.
I knew I had flour, milk, and oil, so biscuits seemed a perfect compliment. In a few minutes I had the gravy simmering on the stove while I whipped up a batch of biscuits.
Normally seen as part of a southern breakfast, biscuits and gravy doesn't limit itself to the morning hours. I still use a biscuit recipe from a life-long friend, Brenda Joyce, who taught me to make biscuits when we were in college. I have been using that recipe for almost 50 years and see no reason to change.

That works ANY time of the day! :-)
My wife makes some killer biscuits too but after watching how much work is involved in the process i don't ask for them often . But the Sausage gravy is easy and I get that purtaneer every week . Hope that Buckeye slang purtaneer don't mess too many minds but we're simple folk .
Hope there is some left! I'm on my way!!
My Mississippi-born father liked to eat biscuits with a fork, with cane syrup poured over them.
I'm curious, what is your preferred method for quickly thawing a frozen meat like that?
PawPaw you are and Evil man. After you posted that picture....I was wanting biscuits and gravy Sooooo bad. Went to look...no sausage in the fridge...none in the freezer !! Sigh. Finally last night about 8pm I couldnt stand it anymore and went to the store. I WILL have biscuits and gravy for breakfast today. ( I like it with 2 eggs over easy floating in the middle.)
