Dutch Oven Drop Biscuits and Milk Gravy
(serves 4-6)
Start by browning 1/2 pound of sausage (or bacon, or both!) in your dutch oven. Stir in 3 cups of milk.
To make the biscuits, combine 2 cups flour, 3 tablespoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in 1/3 cup shortening and stir in 1 cup milk.
The dough will be sticky, but dump it onto a floured board and knead a few times. Spoon into a dutch oven and bake, uncovered, at 450° for 12 minutes.
Cut biscuits in half and top with the milk gravy.
The various combinations included the gravy plain, with bacon, with sausage, with sausage and bacon over regular biscuits, and also over "pigs in blanket" which were made by forming the biscuit dough around a cooked sausage link or patty. Then we tried eight variations of Dutch Oven Eggs Goldenrod which was adding chopped, hard-cooked egg whites to the gravy and sprinkling the chopped, hard-cooked egg yolks over the whole concoction. This is definitely not a recipe for someone who's trying to lose weight!
