In Memory of my Mom....Joni's biscuits and gravy :)

My Mamma's Biscuits and Gravy


Fall is in the air, the aroma of wood burning in a fireplace, the anticipation of hot cocoa by a fire with roasted marshmallows, visit to the Dunn apple cider mill, cool crisp walks, with warm conversation is all apart of my memory box.  But, also in my box is the memory of my girls when they were little, we lived in Belton Missouri, my husband and I would take the girls down to Warsaw Missouri to visit my mom and dad, without fail my mom would make up the best batch of biscuits and gravy I have ever tasted. Today I wanted to share her recipe with you, in hopes that this recipe will become a part of your memories as well...Enjoy :)



Ingredients:

Bob Evans regular sausage ( I like that brand)

2 to 3 cans of biscuits ( depending on how many people you are sharing with )

3 Tablespoons of Canola oil

1 tsp. of poultry seasoning

1/2 to 3/4 cup of all purpose flour.

about 2 cups of milk ( add more milk if gravy is to thick after you bring it to a boil)

salt and pepper to taste

Cast Iron Skillet, perhaps one that your mom or grandmother passed down to you :)

Cookie sheet

Wooden Spoon


Put your sausage in your cast iron on medium heat and begin to crumble it up with a wooden spoon

Next add your poultry seasoning. I'm not sure why my mamma added this, but she did and so do I :)

Go ahead and add your canola oil just about right now :) yep now is a good time

 

 

Okay stir this all around really good, say a little prayer that your biscuit and gravy turns out like my mamma's then add your flour to the party.  Cook your flour for about 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown :)  Like this :)

 

 

 

 

Well, it is high time we get busy adding the milk so we can get busy making the gravy part of this recipe. Bring to a boil then reduce heat.

 

 

 

 

 

We are almost there :) Your gravy should look similar to this....

 

 

 

 

 

 

All done, now just pull your biscuits out of the oven and ladle some gravy over your piping hot biscuits then lean over to someone at the table and say," I think these biscuits and gravy taste exactly how Michele's mom use to make them...

Opps, I burned a couple of biscuits... Shhh don't tell anyone... Oh how I loved my mamma :) Enjoy Y'all
