Biscuits and Gravy

My husband and I love biscuits and gravy for breakfast! We usually make them when we have leftover KFC biscuits and then I have found the biscuit recipe on the KFC website.

Biscuits:

• 1 1/2 cups flour 
• 1 1/2 tsp salt (This was too much, I use 1 tsp) 
• 1 tbsp sugar 
• 1 tbsp baking powder 
• 2/3 cup milk 
• 1/3 cup shortening (I used butter) 

1. Mix all dry ingredients and then mix in milk and cut in butter 
2. Knead all ingredients together on a floured surface until mixture is well mixed. If it is too dry, add a little milk 
3. Flatten dough to be 1/2 in thick and use a glass or cup to cut rounds out of it 
4. Bake at 425 for 10 - 13 minutes. This recipe makes about 9 - 12 biscuits 

Gravy (Spicy):

• 1 lb breakfast sausage (To save calories, I buy the turkey or chicken) 
• 1/4 cup chopped onion 
• 1 small can of green chilis 
• 2 dashes Cayenne 
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder 
• 1/4 tsp chili powder 
• 1/4 cup flour 
• 2 cups milk 
• Salt and pepper to taste 

1. Brown sausage with onion 
2. Add green chilis, 1/4 cup flour, cayenne, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper 
3. Add milk and cook over medium heat until thickened and bubbling 
4. Serve over hot biscuits and top with eggs if you like
