Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. I
n a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
When your oven is up to temperature, place one tablespoon of butter in each of eight 1/2 pint wide mouth mason jars. Place them on a tray and heat in oven until the butter is melted.
Remove from oven, and using a pot holder, pick up jar and swirl butter around the edges of each jar.
Quickly stir milk into flour mixture until smooth, and using a large ice cream scoop, scoop a heaping spoonful of dough into each jar.
Poke a butter knife in the center of each biscuit and move around a bit to loosen the biscuit from the bottom of the jar. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on top and biscuit is cooked through. Remove from oven, gently run a knife around each biscuit and using a pot holder, turn each biscuit out on a platter. Serve with a nice big breakfast. Makes 8 large biscuits.

Brown 2 pounds of breakfast sausage. Do not drain. Stir in 1/2 cup flour to coat meat. Pour in 3 cups of milk, stir, and simmer until thickened. Salt and pepper to taste if needed. Add red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. See? Easy.
