biscuits and gravy

4 cups of all purpose flour
1 TB baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp slat
12 TB cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Spray cooking spray on a large baking sheet.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Cut in butter with your hands or pastry cutter (I am a super fan).  Do this until it resembles small crumbs the size of a pea.  Scape dough onto lightly flour surface and roll into a rectangle.  Use a round cutter to cut out the biscuits.  Place 2 inches apart.  Brush the tops with the cream and sprinkle with pepper.  Bake 12-15 minutes.

Gravy

Cook 1/2 pound to a pound of breakfast sausage

Remove from pan. Set aside. Use same pan Melt 2 TB unsalted on medium heat and then add flour.  Whisk for a minute.  Then add 2 cups warm milk.  Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken. Add sausage now. Season with salt and pepper.  Serve over biscuits.
