    Biscuits & Gravy & Eggs Extraordinaire, The art of making this classic southern stick-to-your-ribs-and-leave-you-smilin’-all-day breakfast is, unfortunately being lost to the fat-phoebic EVERYONE should know how to make a truly great Biscuits & Gravy breakfast, if not just to see your man smile from ear to ear one Saturday morning a year (right before he has to mow the lawn 😉 ) I *have* been known to run to our local McDonalds at 6am and pick up a few of their terrific plain biscuits, on lazy days P S Found an even EASIER (and maybe BETTER) biscuit recipe here on ‘Zaar recipezaar com/58913 ) , Man O Man this is great!! I tried it with your EASIER biscuit recipe link the first time, the 2nd time had to use Grand Biscuits like Jazze22 due to me being lazy LOL They were yummy both times! Now I need to go check out your other recipes Thanks for posting Pellerin , Normally, I wouldn’t try a recipe with only one review But I wasn’t sure what could go wrong with this recipe, so I tried it out SO GLAD I did!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    To Save Time, Make Gravy the Night Before, and Let Flavors Meld. That Way, All You Have to Do in the Morning Are the Biscuits and Eggs 8-).

    2
    Done

    Gravy: on Medium (not High) Heat, Crumble and Saut Sausage Remove to Plate.

    3
    Done

    on Medium Heat, Gently Brown Bacon Remove to Plate & Crumble.

    4
    Done

    in Same Pan, Keep About 3 Tablespoons of the Rendered Drippings from Sausage & Bacon. Add Butter to Melt.

    5
    Done

    Make Roux by Adding 3 Tablespoons of Flour to Start With, Add 1-2 Tablespoons More If You Feel You Need It. Slowly, Whisk in Cream Then Milk. Gently Bring to a Simmer For Several Minutes to Thicken. Stir in Crumbled Sausage and Bacon. Add a Little Salt, and Plenty of Pepper, to Taste. (can Put in Fridge For Morning Now). Makes 5 Cups.

    6
    Done

    Biscuits: Preheat Oven to 450.

    7
    Done

    in a Large, Chilled Mixing Bowl, Sift Together the Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda and Salt. Using Two Knives in a Scissor-Like Fashion (or a Pastry Cutter), Cut in the Fats Into the Dry Ingredients. Make a Well in the Center and Pour in the Chilled Buttermilk. Stir Just Until the Dough Comes Together. the Dough Will Be Very Sticky.

    8
    Done

    Turn Dough Onto Floured Surface, Dust Top With Flour and Gently Fold Dough Over on Itself 5 or 6 Times. Press Into a 1-Inch Thick Round. Cut Out Biscuits With a 2- or 3-Inch Cutter, (use a Cup Measuring Cup) Being Sure to Push Straight Down Through the Dough (do not Twist on the Way Down!).

    9
    Done

    Immediately Place Biscuits on a Clay Baking Sheet, Sprayed With Pam, So That They Just Touch, shoulder-to-Shoulder- Theyll Rise Better, and not Get Too Brown. You Dont Want to Give Them a Chance to Rise, Until They Hit the Oven. Gently Reform Scrap Dough, Working It as Little as Possible and Continue Cutting.

    10
    Done

    Bake Until Biscuits Are Tall and Light Gold on Top, 15 to 20 Minutes. Brush Tops With Melted Butter. Makes About 9 Two to Three-Inch Biscuits.

    11
    Done

    Eggs: Crack the Eggs Into a Bowl. Add the Cream and Whisk Until the Eggs Look Foamy and Light. Heat a 10-Inch Non-Stick Skillet Over Medium Heat. Melt the Butter Until It Foams, and Then Turn the Heat Down to Low and Slowly Pour in the Eggs.

    12
    Done

    Using a Heat Resistant Rubber Spatula, Slowly Stir the Eggs from the Outside of the Pan to the Center. Once the Eggs Begin to Set, Stirring Slowly Will Create Large, Cloud-Like Curds. Season With Salt & Pepper.

    13
    Done

    Serve: Split a Biscuit. Dot With Butter. Either Place Scrambled Eggs, Then Gravy, or - as I Do, Gravy First, and Fluffy Eggs on Top.
