Biscuits

Gravy

Assorted Breads & Pastries

Method

Biscuits

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Cut in the Butter

    Cut the cold unsalted butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Buttermilk

    Pour in the buttermilk and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Shape the Biscuits

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Gravy

  1. 6

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon.

  2. 7

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage and stir for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

  3. 8

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 9

    Season the Gravy

    Season with black pepper and salt to taste. Cook until thickened, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Assorted Breads & Pastries

  1. 10

    Activate the Yeast

    In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 11

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour and salt. Once the yeast is activated, add it to the flour mixture along with melted butter.

  3. 12

    Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl and cover with a cloth.

  4. 13

    Let the Dough Rise

    Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  5. 14

    Shape and Bake

    Shape the risen dough into rolls or loaves. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
