Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

BISCUITS

4 cups flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
¼ cup oil
1 ½ cups milk

Sift dry ingredients together. Work in oil with pastry cutter. Add milk slowly as you mix. Dough will be firm but not tough. Roll out ½ inch thick and cut. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Makes about 12 biscuits

GRAVY

1 pound bulk sausage (Jimmy Dean mild or hot)
¾ cup milk
3 tablespoons flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
1½ - 2 cups milk

Brown and thoroughly cook the sausage first. Then in a small container with a lid, put the ¾ cup milk, flour, salt, and pepper. Place lid on and shake well to mix. Add this to the sausage pan and stir with a wisk. Then add the additional milk (1½ - 2 cups). Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes more, or until it's smooth and creamy. Serve sausage, and gravy over biscuits.
