Biscuits and Gravy

Almost every time we go to Denny's for breakfast, I order biscuits and gravy. It is one of the least expensive things on the menu and it tastes great. Over the past few months, my husband has made them from scratch several times and I finally decided to take a picture and preserve the recipe that he uses. He got the original recipe from allrecipes.com, but he never is exact about the way he follows it so it tastes slightly different every time. 

Biscuits:

1 cup flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup milk

1 tsp butter, melted

Gravy:

1/2 lb. pork sausage

1 Tbsp butter

3 Tbsp flour

1 3/4 cup milk

salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

In a bowl, combine milk and butter then add in flour, baking powder and salt. Stir just until blended. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Bake at 450° for 10-12 minutes or until golden.

While the biscuits are baking, cook sausage over medium heat until it is no longer pink. Stir in butter until it is melted, then add flour and stir until it is completely combined with butter. Slowly add milk, stirring often. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for two more minutes. Serve over freshly baked biscuits
