Classic Cast Iron Supper: Sausage Gravy, Fluffy Biscuits, and Home Fries
Today’s Culinary Adventures
Guess you could say I had a cast iron supper this evening, since cast iron was all I used. Sausage gravy, homemade light fluffy biscuit, dippy (over easy) egg, home fries, applesauce and sweet tea
Sausage Gravy
- Crumble sausage and fry it in a cast iron skillet with a little bacon grease until brown.
- Sprinkle flour over the sausage and stir until coated.
- Slowly stir in milk until desired thickness is achieved.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/3 cup shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Gradually stir in 1 cup milk until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
- Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead it 15 to 20 times.
- Roll the dough out to a 1-inch thickness and cut biscuits using a large cutter or a glass dipped in flour.
- Place the biscuits on an untreated baking sheet.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in a preheated oven or until the edges begin to brown.
- Brush the biscuits with melted butter.
Dippy Egg:
- Fry an egg on a cast iron griddle until desired doneness.
Serve the Sausage Gravy, Homemade Biscuits, and Dippy Egg alongside:
- Home fries
- Applesauce
- Sweet tea
Enjoy your delicious cast iron supper!
