Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage Gravy
 I don?t know about you, but I?ve been craving comfort food lately. Maybe because I can finally turn the oven to 450 degrees without running the air conditioner on high for the next twelve hours! It must be a fall thing. Besides, I figure I?ve got a few more bike rides to fit in before it snows. I?m going to enjoy this splurge while I can. Buttermilk Biscuits Printer Version Prepped with a food processor, these mile high biscuits come together so fast your oven won't be preheated in time, so turn it on several minutes before you begin. 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour ?2 teaspoons baking powder? 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt ?6 tablespoons cold butter cut into pieces? 3/4 cup buttermilk ??Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Sausage Gravy Good sausage gravy is a guilty pleasure of mine. 1 package Jimmy Dean All Natural Regular Pork Sausage 4 tablespoons butter, diced 3 tablespoons extra light olive oil or vegetable oil 1/2 cup flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper Pinch of cayenne pepper 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme 4 cups milk Break up sausage into a very large skillet or wide bottom pot. Cook over medium high breaking apart the sausage into small pieces. When no longer pink and well cooked remove the sausage from the pan leaving the grease behind and set the meat aside. Add butter and oil and stir occasionally until the butter is melted. Next, add the flour and cook for 3 to 4 minutes stirring frequently. Add the salt, pepper, and cayenne. Rub the thyme between the palms of your hands to crush it while adding to the pan. Slowly stir in the milk and bring it to a simmer stirring constantly until gravy is thickened to taste. Add the sausage back in and cook for a couple minutes to warm through. Season with more salt and pepper if needed and serve hot over biscuits.
