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!
