They are all delicious! I've been making sausage gravy for a long time and would like to share a variation of the above. I prefer to use some type of Jimmy Dean's sausage (preferably sage) because it yields very little fat/grease. I don't make patties, but rather break it up as if for spaghetti sauce...then I sprinkle 2 or 3 tablespoons of flour over the meat after it's cooked and stir it up to coat the meat well. Then add milk a cup or so at a time and stir until thickened, adding more milk until you reach the consistency you prefer. I like to add a bit of extra milk and let it simmer and reduce to the desired thickness and let the flavors develop a bit more. Of course, salt and pepper to taste as the gravy cooks. I find one pkg of Jimmy Dean's (12 oz size) will provide plenty of gravy for about 8 nice biscuits. I normally make bisquik drop biscuits, but can't wait to try this with your hoe cake recipe! By the way, I lived in Huntsville back in 86/87. I managed the local ComputerLand store there. I really liked Huntsville and have many fond memories!

I'm using Rumford baking powder because of the "no Aluminum" thing .. and I have seen the east coast high rise powder at King Arthur but have not tried it. Any comments? I'm on the Oregon Trail and I wonder how many people starved to death trying to figure out to add water and then subtract water etc. as they went/cooked over the "hump" .. from almost sea level to a mile high .. and then back to normal in Oregon or California .. on the "trail." I've read a lot of their letters and no one mentioned these "thangs." They did say they made their own yeast before starting by letting a mix set in flour and dry and then broke that up.

I think I will have some for dinner tonight. It always amazes me how many people/restaurants can screw up such and easy thing. As for your friend not liking you telling all our recipes, shoot, tell him they more they are out there the easier it will be to find good food.

I'm in pure Southerner bliss right now. I think we're gonna have to start doing this every weekend. Possibly a couple times a week. My 2 year old is licking his bowl. I wish I had done that!

I grew up in Florida, which doesn't really count as the south with all the New Yorkers, but my grandparents were from Huntington, WV and so I miss all the delicious southern cooking that sadly never had the opportunity to be passed along. At 26, I'm ashamed to say I didn't know how to make sausage gravy, but you make it look so easy! I'm sure it will be delicious for supper tonight. Happy New Year!

It has to be, hands down, one of the best comfort foods out there. My mom would always make it for us on Christmas day. Of course, the biscuits were always canned and ended up getting burned on the bottom, but that was a tradition. ;) I'm so going to make me a BIG batch soon! The best thing about this is that it is sooooo yummy as leftovers. I always consider it to be even better the next morning! If there is any left, of course.

I made the sausage/milk gravy tonight and we LOVED it! I even found Tennessee Pride sausage to use! I have to confess I didn't make your biscuit recipe tonight. I cheated, making Bisquick biscuits, so I know for certain they weren't as good as yours (dare I say, y'all's?) ... but the gravy was what we call in the Southernmost state in the U.S.A., "winnahs!" I was born a person of the Northern persuasion, but I'll definitely be making this Southern classic again and I PROMISE to try it with your biscuit recipe, when I'm not pressed for time! Hugs from Hawaii! -- Erika Hey Christy,
