Easy Homemade Butter Biscuits And Bacon Gravy Recipes

Steps:

• Heat bacon drippings in a skillet over medium heat; whisk flour into drippings until smooth. Reduce heat to low and cook the flour mixture until it turns a caramel brown color, stirring constantly, about 15 minutes. Be careful, the roux burns easily. Stir in salt and black pepper.
• Whisk 1/2 cup milk into the roux until thoroughly blended. Continue whisking milk into the gravy, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking in each amount of milk completely before adding more. Bring gravy to a simmer and whisk constantly until thick, smooth, and bubbling.

Steps:

• Bake biscuits according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, cook sausage in large skillet over medium heat 5-6 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring frequently. Stir in flour. Gradually add milk; cook until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Split biscuits in half. Place 2 halves on each of 8 plates; top with about 1/3 cup gravy.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Gradually stir in milk so that no lumps form, and continue cooking and stirring until thickened. If the gravy becomes too thick, you may thin it with a little more milk.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Using a regular sized skillet, first fry bacon in skillet. Crumble bacon in bowl and set aside, but do not drain the grease - keep grease on low heat while making biscuits.
• Mix all ingredients for biscuits in bowl until mostly dense dough forms and slightly wet. If dough is dry, add milk sparingly.
• Grease baking sheet or I like to use a baking stone. Pull apart small balls of dough and drop on sheet - makes 9 biscuits. Bake until tops are slightly brown and middles are done.
• Depending on how much grease is in skillet you can pour some out. Using a whisk or wooden spoon, I like to have about 3-4 Tbsp. of grease in skillet, sprinkle flour in slowly and keep stirring until medium consistency mixture forms.
• It's important to keep stirring so no lumps form. You want this mixture to be smooth. While still stirring, I take a gallon of milk and pour until my skillet is 3/4 the way full (approx. 5-7 cups).
• Add crumbled bacon, salt & pepper, and bring to slow boil - constantly stirring. When gravy thickens to your likeness, reduce heat and break open a biscuit and serve.
