big breakfast

i love big breakfasts on sunday mornings.  i’ve blogged before about pancakes but this past sunday, i just had to try out this recipe for beaten biscuits.  we had some yummy ruegsegger’s pork sausage and we had some buttermilk in the fridge (rare!) so it was the perfect time for biscuits and gravy.  as you can see, the biscuits baked up lovely and golden (although, considering that they included an entire stick of butter, they seemed a bit… dry to me.  maybe i didn’t beat them long enough?) and because of the unique folding technique, they split into perfect halves.  i’m not sure they’re the perfect biscuit, but they were rather tasty with this sausage gravy on top.  and later with a slather of honey or jam.  the sausage was the leanest sausage i’ve ever cooked.  there almost wasn’t enough fat to make the roux for gravy (am i using the right word in the right way there?  too late at night to look it up.), but it crumbled up so nice and small and there were no mystery chewy bits like there so often are in sausage.

i didn’t eat again until after we got home from church.  and then i had a salad.  but it was worth it.
