Ingredients

  • GRAVY:
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 9 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 (16-ounce) package hot pork sausage
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, combine self-rising flour and rosemary. Cut 5 tablespoons butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly; add buttermilk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 3 or 4 times.

Place 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Place skillet in oven 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, pat or roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-inch round cutter. Remove skillet from oven and place dough rounds in skillet.

Bake 14 minutes, or until just lightly browned. Melt remaining butter and brush over biscuits.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook sausage 6 to 8 minutes or until no pink remains, stirring to crumble sausage. Add all-purpose flour; mix well. Add Worcestershire sauce and milk; mix well. Cook 2 to 4 minutes, or until gravy thickens, stirring constantly. Serve over biscuits.

If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, use a baking sheet that has been coated with cooking spray.
